ABSTRACT
Ordered mesoporous Al2O3-SiO2-carbon nanocomposites have been synthesized via the direct triblock-copolymer self-assembly route using soluble phenolic resols as polymer precursors, aluminium chloride hexahydrate as an aluminum precursor, tetraethoxysilane as a silica precursor, and Pluronic F127 as a template. Characterization of XRD, N2 sorption isotherms, TEM, solid-state NMR, TG, and NH3-TPD techniques is used to investigate the mesostructure, pore properties, phase composition, metal incorporation state, and acidic properties. Ordered mesoporous nanocomposites have "reinforced concrete"-structured frameworks, in which the oxide and carbon components are microphase separated and homogenously dispersed inside pore walls. Al species are tetrahedrally incorporated into silica frameworks to compose the inorganic oxide compounds which provides acidic center. The nanocomposites have the ordered 2-D hexagonal mesostructure, high surface areas (291-360 m2/g), large pore volumes (0.25-0.42 cm3/g), large pore diameters (- 5 nm) and accessible acidic sites.
