Abstract:Mesoporous titania-silica catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal conversion from synthesis solutions containing a zeolite structure directing agent (TPA(+)) and a porogen (CTA(+)). Syntheses were carried out with and without addition of zeolite seeds (i.e., TS-1 and Sil-1 nanocrystals). Catalysts prepared in the presence of zeolite nanocrystal seeds have greater proportions of tetrahedrally coordinated titanium, which correlate well with the detection of zeolite SBU fragments and ring-structure by TOF-SIMS and FTIR The incorporation of titano-silicates and zeolite structural units in the mesopore walls could explain the better activity and stability of these catalysts (Ti-MT1 and Ti-MS1) compared to the catalyst prepared by the conventional method (Ti-MCM-41). The similarity in the reactivity of catalysts prepared from TS-1 and Sil-1 nanocrystal seeds dispels the idea that the seeds are merely a source of the zeolite fragments incorporated in the pore walls but instead suggests that the seeds play an active role to stabilize and promote the incorporation of SBU from the solution.
