Insights into formation and properties of amorphous mesostructured alumina

Résumé

Here, using liquid crystals as template, an EISA (evaporation-induced self-assembly) method has been used to synthesize amorphous mesostructured alumina. The effect of the synthesis parameters such as the presence of a chelating agent, the amounts of both porogen agent and alumina precursor on the materials properties have been investigated in details. Under the optimum conditions, after Soxhlet extraction, the obtained Al2O3 presents an HMS (Hexagonal Molecular Sieves) structure and a high specific surface area ( 400m²/g) with a mesopore size distribution centered around 8.3 nm. Investigation of the thermal stability shows that the crystallization into -Al2O3 of the amorphous alumina walls delimiting mesopores begins after heating at 800°C. We have also demonstrated that half of the carbon present in the as-synthesized material can be removed by washing with water or ethanol at room temperature instead of Soxhlet extraction. On the basis of SAXS, XRD and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses, we have shown that when treated into boiling water or exposed to water vapor the alteration of the mesostructure occurs quickly. Its collapse has been attributed to the crystallization of the amorphous alumina walls into aluminum hydroxides, mainly boehmite, upon the hydration of the alumina. Dual mesoporous alumina have been also obtained from micelles through a cooperative templating mechanism at low P123 amount and in the presence of citric acid. In that case both mesopores networks adopt a wormhole-like mesostructure.
