    Influence of vanadium nanoclusters in hydrogen uptake using hybrid nanostructured materials
    (Springer Science+Business Media, 2018) Juárez, Juliana María; Gómez Costa , Marcos Bruno; Martínez, María Laura; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo
    In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of vanadium oxide nanoclusters (V2O5) supported in silica nano- structured material (SBA-15) and nanostructured carbon (CMK-3). This material is promising in hydrogen adsorption and storage application for energy harvesting. The materials with vanadium oxide nanoclusters (VxOy-SBA-15 and VxOy-CMK-3) were successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, textural properties, UV–Vis-DRS, X-ray photoelec- tron spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction and transmission electron microscopy analyses. VxOy-SBA-15 and VxOy-CMK-3 improved significantly the H2 storage behavior (1.33 wt% and 3.43 wt% at 77 K and 10 bar) compared with their respective supports SBA-15 and CMK-3. The materials synthesized are promising in hydrogen uptake by weak link forces (physisorption). A mechanism of hydrogen adsorption was proposed and V5+ cation roll in hydrogen uptake was discussed

    (CICat, 2016) Ponte , María Virginia; Rivoira, Lorena Paola; Cussa, Jorgelina; Martínez, María Laura; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    hexagonal, diámetro de poro >3nm; presenta alta área superficial y alto volumen de poro. Se utilizó la metodología de Superficie de Respuesta para el modelado y optimización de las condiciones de síntesis de SBA‐3. Se analizaron como factores del Diseño la influencia de la relación molar entre el surfactante (CTAB) y la fuente de silicio (TEOS), el tiempo de envejecimiento, la temperatura y el pH de la síntesis utilizando HCl. La respuesta analizada fue la intensidad de difracción de rayos X para el plano [100]. Las superficies de respuestas se obtuvieron con el diseño Box–Behnken, buscando la combinación de los parámetros que dieran como resultado la mejor estructura en el material sintetizado. Mediante la aplicación de metodología estadística, los mayores valores de la función objetivo (intensidad de DRX para el plano [100]) se obtuvieron utilizando valores de la relación molar CTAB/TEOS de 0,07‐0,16; HCl/TEOS de 8‐11; temperatura de síntesis de 35‐45 (ºC) y tiempos de envejecimiento de 12‐24hr.

    Synthesis of SBA-1, SBA-3 and SBA-7 mesoporous materials. Study of the effect of time and temperature.
    (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional., 2016) Martínez , María Laura; Ponte , María Virginia; Falcón , Horacio; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel; Ponte , María Virginia
    In recent years, physicists, chemists and engineers have focused their research on the design of new functional materials. In the synthesis and control of materials in nanometer dimensions, the aim is currently directed towards the development of systems and devices that take advantage of chemical properties and physical principles, where their causes lie in the nanometer scale. Although there are numerous investigations about the synthesis of mesoporous materials from inorganic silicon salt, for example the synthesis of SBA-3. Ting et al [1] studied the synthesis of SBA-1; they obtained mesoporous SBA-1 with cubic structures, with a high porous system, by utilizing agents’ routers short chain structure such as the dodecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride. Recent research also showed that the formation of mesophases is affected by the presence of the counter ions and templates or surfactants can adopt a mesophase or other phases. So, Che et al. [2] found a phase shift 2D-hexagonal cubes from P6mm to Pm3n. We have published results for synthesis of SBA-3 with silica gel as silica source; we have found that the formation of mesophase is function of NaOH concentration in the dissolutions of silica gel. The influence of reaction temperature, time and NaOH concentration was investigated. During studies for the best synthesis conditions for synthesis of SBA-3, we also obtained SBA-1 and SBA-7 mesoporous materials.

    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2015) Ponte , María Virginia; Rivoira , Lorena Paola; Cussa , jorgelina; Martínez , María Laura; Beltramone , Andrea Raquel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata; Cussa , jorgelina; Rivoira , Lorena Paola
    SBA-3 mesoporous materials are characterized by hexagonal regular arrangements of channels with diameters >2 nm, high specific surface areas and high specific pore volumes. In the work reported herein, experimental design-response surface methodology (RSM) is used to model and optimize the synthesis conditions for SBA-3 mesoporous materials. In this study, we evaluate the influences of surfactant/silica source molar ratios, aging times, temperature and pH on the synthesis of SBA-3 mesoporous materials by analyzing the XRD intensities pertaining to the [100] signal. Response surfaces were obtained using the BoxeBehnken design, and the combination of reaction parameters was optimized. By applying statistical methodology, higher levels of the objective function (XRD intensities pertaining to the [100] signal) were obtained using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) molar ratios of 0.07 and 0.16, HCl/TEOS molar ratios of 8 and 11, reaction temperatures of 35 and 45 ◦C and aging times of 12e24 h. The mesoporous SBA-3 samples obtained were characterized using small-angle X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET, FTIR and 29Si NMR-MAS, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

    Direct Synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbon as support of Ir-Catalyst and its application in hydrodenitrogenation of indole.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional., 2018) Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Juárez , Juliana María; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel; Juárez , Juliana María
    An ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) modified with titania was prepared using a novel and shorter synthesis method. OMC was successfully synthesized by the carbonization of the silica/TEOT/triblock copolymer/sucrose composite in the presence of sulfuric acid. This novel material was modified with the incorporation of nanoparticles of Iridium. Structural and textural characterization of the catalyst was performed by means of N2 adsorption, XRD, UV–Vis–DRS, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM and H2 Chemisorption. The characterization results indicated that the textural and structural properties of the support synthesized by the short time method are comparable with the properties of the support prepared by the hard template method. Ir-Ti-OMC catalyst obtained by short time synthesis was active and selective in the hydrogenation of indole. Main advantage of the present study is the reduction of time and cost in the synthesis of the new material and the applicability for HDT reactions.

    Multiple-wall carbon nanotubes obtained with mesoporous material decorated with caria-zirconia.
    (Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2020) Rodríguez , Miguel Angel; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel; Juárez , Juliana María; Juárez , Juliana María; Anunziata , Oscar Alfredo
    In this work, Ceria-Zirconia on ordered Santa Barbara mesoporous silica (Ce-Zr-SBA-15), has been used directly as a catalyst for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). In addition to cerium oxide, it contains zirconium oxide nano crystallites, which act as catalysts for carbon nanostructures. The catalytic performance of this material was evaluated for the decomposi- tion of ethanol at 900 °C, with N2 flow. The carbon decomposed from absolute ethanol diffuses through the surface of the nanostructured catalytic material and precipitates in the form of MWCNT structures, which could be identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), showing average diameters of 30–35 nm.

    Mesopore carbón starch with acid properties: synthesis and characterization
    (2020) Martínez, María Laura; Anunziata, Oscar A.
    We have shown that a promising material with acidic properties can be successfully prepared from starch mesoporous carbon (SMC), functionalized with sulfated zirconia. The process of assembling P123, starch, zirconia, and silicon synthesized Zr-modified ordered mesoporous carbon. SMC and Zr-SMC were characterized by BET for their texture properties and, using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), their morphology. Acidic properties were acquired by programmed thermodesorption of ammonia (NH3 TPD). These studies show that the Zr-SMCs material is mainly composed of mesopores with an average pore size of approximately 3.5 nm, high surface area and pore volume, and has medium to strong acidity properties.

    Green hydrogen from catalytic ammonia decomposition
    (2021) Gómez Costa, Marcos B.; Juárez, Juliana M.; Anunziata, Oscar A.
    Ir/γ-alumina catalysts for decomposition of ammonia were prepared by Iridium ion exchange procedure, onto γ-alumina synthesized by sol-gel method. In order to determine the physical and chemical properties we used X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR-MAS). The samples displayed the characteristic band at 1620 cm-1 corresponds to a N-H bending of ammonia adsorbed on electron-acceptor sites, and the characterization by pyridine adsorption and desorption to determine the presence of Lewis acid sites, with absence of Brønsted sites, showing higher acid strength than commercial sample used as reference. The analysis of particle size and morphology reveal uniformity, with tendency to a spheroid aspect and smaller to 3 μm of diameter. The 27Al NMR-MAS test, allowed determining the tetrahedral and octahedral aluminum presence in both samples, where the higher proportion of octahedral Al in γ-alumina synthesized by us, is correlated toward the greater electron acceptor acid sites. The designed method was effective for Ir/γ-alumina catalysts synthesis. The surface area was 150 and 260 m2/g for the commercial sample and the alumina prepared by and us, and after the Ir incorporation (10-18% w/w in both samples), they surfaces were reduced approximately 5.4-8.8% and 4.3-7.2% respectively. XRD analyses show the absence of maximums at 28º and 34.7º 2 corresponding to iridium oxide, indicating a high efficiency of the reduction treatment, increasing the active sites for the specific reaction of ammonia decomposition. The distribution of the Ir crystallites determined by XRD and TEM indicated that, the samples prepared by ion exchange method produced smaller Iridium clusters than by impregnation procedure of alumina sample, with higher surface area and greater anchorage sites. According to preliminary catalytic tests, the Ir/γ-alumina catalysts prepared by a novel method showed higher activity to ammonia decomposition to N2 and green H2.
