摘要:

鉴于甲烷储量丰富但储存和运输存在挑战的特点, 将其直接氧化为高值化学品成为天然气高效利用的重要路径。AEI沸石作为一种小孔沸石在甲烷氧化反应中表现出良好的催化性能而备受关注. AEI沸石的合成高度依赖于有机结构导向剂(OSDA). 研究结果表明, 异构的OSDA会影响AEI沸石晶体颗粒的结晶速率和空间铝分布; 且这种空间铝分布会差异显著影响后续金属阳离子的负载, 从而影响催化活性位点的形成. 然而, 异构OSDA对AEI沸石框架铝分布的影响机制尚不明确。

本文中, 分别采用了反式(80%反式)和顺式(100%顺式)的N,N-二甲基-3,5-二甲基哌啶鎓氢氧化物(DMDMP)作为OSDA来合成AEI沸石, 以探究异构OSDA在合成AEI沸石中对铝分布的影响机制. 采用27Al MQMAS/MAS核磁共振和密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了由反式和顺式富集OSDA导向合成的AEI沸石中铝分布的差异. 顺式OSDA在60-63 ppm处产生更高强度的四配位铝的肩峰. 而反式OSDA导致铝含量和铝对比例比顺式略高. DFT计算表明, 反式和顺式OSDA分别优先导致铝原子位于T3和T1位置. NH3-TPD分析表明, AEI沸石中铝分布的差异直接影响Cu阳离子与酸性质子之间的交换方式. 鉴于AEI(反式)中的铝含量略高, Cu/AEI(反式)沸石中二铜物种的数量略多于Cu/AEI(顺式). 因此, 在相同Cu/Al比条件下, Cu/AEI(反式)在300°C下表现出更高的甲烷转化率, 并在350 °C下展现出更快的甲醇生成速率.

本文系统报道了Cu/AEI沸石上甲烷活化特性, 并揭示了OSDA异构体对Cu/AEI催化甲烷氧化为甲醇过程中活性的影响机制, 强调了异构体OSDA对铝分布以及结晶动力学的调控作用, 并为沸石合成中OSDA的设计提供了见解.

Abstract:

Small pore zeolites have been reported to show salient performance in methane oxidation reactions. Among them, the synthesis of AEI zeolite is highly dependent on organic structure-directing agents (OSDA). The isomer OSDAs have been informed to influence the crystallization rate and spatial Al distribution on the crystalline particle of AEI zeolite. Still, its impact on the framework Al distribution of the AEI zeolite is not well known, which significantly impacts the subsequent loading of metal cations and thus active sites available for catalytic reactions. We herein report the impact of the isomer OSDA for synthesizing AEI-type aluminosilicate zeolite on the Al distribution. The discrepancy of Al distribution in as-synthesized AEI zeolites directed by trans and cis-rich OSDAs was identified by 27Al MQMAS/MAS NMR and density functional theory (DFT). The cis-OSDA gave a higher intensity of bands at 60-63 ppm as the shoulder of tetracoordinated Al. The trans-rich OSDA guided to a slightly higher Al content and a slightly higher proportion of Al pairs than the cis-one. The DFT calculation indicated that trans- and cis-OSDAs preferentially led to the Al atoms at the T3 and T1 sites, respectively. The exchanged Cu/AEI zeolites with varied Cu content were applied in the direct and continuous oxidation of methane reaction and exhibited different activities. Given the results, we report here the methane activation properties of the Cu/AEI zeolites and how the isomer identity of the OSDA impacts the activity of Cu/AEI in methane oxidation to methanol. This work highlighted that isomer OSDA influenced the Al distribution as well as crystallization kinetics and gave an insight into the design of the OSDA for zeolite synthesis.
