摘要
This work presents the synthesis of Pd-loaded microporous titanosilicalite-1 (Pd/TS-1) and Pd-loaded hierarchical titanosilicalite-1 (Pd/HTS-1) with abundant mesopores (2-30 nm) inside the framework via hydrothermal method using polydiallydimethyl ammonium chloride as the non-surfactant mesopore template. XRD, N2 sorption, FT-IR, FESEM-EDX, TEM, XPS, and DR-UV techniques were used to characterize the morphological and physicochemical properties of the synthesized materials. These materials were tested as heterogeneous catalysts, along with tetrapropylammonium bromide as co-catalyst, for cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates. It was found that the epoxide conversions were influenced by acidity and pore accessibility of the catalysts. Using Pd/HTS-1 facilitated bulky substrates to access active sites, resulting in higher conversions than Pd/TS-1. Over 85 % conversions were achieved for at least five consecutive cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity. The interaction between the Pd active surfaces and epichlorohydrin (ECH) was further studied by DFT calculations. The existence of Pd(200) was more influential on adsorbing epichlorohydrin (ECH) and subsequent formation of dissociated ECH (DECH) intermediate than Pd(111) surface. However, Pd(111) was dominant in enhancing the activity of DECH species for capturing CO2. Therefore, the co-existence of Pd(200) and Pd(111) surfaces was needed for cycloaddition of CO2 with ECH.
