Abstract

Chromium and cerium incorporated into MCM-48 framework are hydrothermally synthesized via sol–gel process without any additives and characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy, and Thermogravimetric analysis. Results indicate that the materials possess a long-range ordered structure, high specific surface area, and narrow pore size distribution. SEM images illustrate the edge-truncated octahedron morphology of Cr-MCM-48 while Ce-MCM-48 preserves the truncated octahedron of the MCM-48 parent material. TEM images show the pore network of Ia3d symmetry after loading metals. Spectroscopic data confirm the existence of metals in the framework and extra-framework. At low Cr content, Cr-MCM-48 contains only Cr(VI) species while rich Cr content loading results in both the Cr(VI) and Cr(III) species. The hydrothermal stability of MCM-48 is enhanced by carefully incorporating metals into the parent material.
