Abstract

To avoid the aggregation problem and activity loss of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) in organic reactions, NiO NPs were incorporated into TUD-1 mesoporous material. One-step sol–gel preparation was applied to prepare four samples of Ni incorporated in TUD-1 silica matrix with different Ni content. The four samples with Si/Ni ratio = 100, 50, 20, and 10 were characterized by means of elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, N2 sorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The characterization analysis showed that Ni2+ ions were incorporated into the silica matrix as individual isolated active sites at Ni content smaller than 2 wt%, and as nanoparticles of NiO when the loading is equal to or higher than 5 wt%. The size of NiO NPs inside the silica matrix is highly dependent on the Ni content, i.e. the size of NiO NPs when the loading was 5 wt% and 10 wt% was 5–10 and 40–60 nm, respectively. The catalytic activity of Ni-TUD-1 was investigated in the epoxidation reaction of cyclohexene at room temperature by using meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) as an oxidant. The obtained results showed that Ni-TUD-1 exhibited superior activity in which 100% conversion of cyclohexene with > 90% selectivity towards cyclohexene oxide was obtained instantly. This result was found to benchmark not only the unsupported NiO nanoparticles, but also the reported catalysts at similar conditions.
