Preparation and Catalytic Properties of Ti-SBA-15 Mesoporous Materials

Abstract

Ti-SBA-15 mesoporous materials were directly synthesized via a hydrothermal process and characterized by using nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and infrared ray spectroscopy. The effect of synthesis temperatures on the structure and catalytic efficiency in epoxidation of cyclohexene was discussed in details. The results showed that the optimal temperature was 100oC under the reaction conditions.
