Objective
The research project is devoted to the development of novel synthetic methods for the design of highly ordered thermohydrostable mesoporous silicates and related materials with periodicity on a 2-25 nm scale in hexagonal, cubic as well as lower symmetry. Solving of the problems stated in the project will permit to obtain a wide variety of nanoscale materials with perfect periodic structure for various fields of application.
Special attention will be paid to two important properties: highly ordered crystal structure and thermohydrostability. Both properties are key points in the successful elaboration of novel nanoscale materials.
Previous investigation of the participants of the project led to important and unique results allowing fundamental conclusions on the block type wall structure and the crystallization mechanism of the material formation. This platform suggests promising ways for the treatment of materials for block structure curing and to prepare series of nanoscale materials with perfectly periodic structures for various fields of application.
To obtain highly ordered themohydrostable nanoscale silica materials suitable for repeated manipulations and applications as templates for preparing derivatives and nanoscale composites several directions are planned to be developed in the project. The first one is to find possible ways for the curing of block structures of materials obtained in basic media. The two kinds of curing procedures will be investigated. In the project the experiments on preparation of highly ordered mesostructured silicates in acidic media will be continued. SBA-15 structures were already obtained and investigated by project participants, however the perfect structure suitable for the investigation of fine details has not yet been obtained. The obtained silica and element-silica SBA-15, MCM-41, and MCM-48 materials will be used as templates in preparation of composites and derivative materials. Precious and nonferrous metal composites, as well as materials containing carbon will be considered for preparation. Element CVD techniques will be employed to derive main principles of composite formation. CVD of carbon will be used as model process of composite fabrication. CVD of other elements will be studied based on carbon CVD principles. A specific and important part of the project will be the development and application of physical methods like X-ray diffraction, adsorption methods, and transmission electron microscopy for material characterization.
In the course of the project the unique X-ray diffraction approaches based on the combination of full profile analysis with continuous electron density presentation. Synchrotron radiation experiments will also be employed. Insight in new structural features of novel nanoscale materials will be obtained this way.
The results obtained will be disseminated via joint publications in scientific journals.
