| Zusammenfassung: | Iron phosphate nanotubes with mesoporous walls are solvothermally synthesized using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a template. With different template concentrations, various shapes of nanosized iron phosphates can be obtained. When the concentration of SDS is set at the transition regions between the lamellar and the hexagonal mesophases, according to its phase diagram, the coassembly of iron phosphate precursor and SDS forms a flake-type mesoporous iron phosphate. Otherwise, nanoparticles or bulky sheets of iron phosphates are obtained. The followed solvothermal treatments on the mesoporous iron phosphate flakes produce iron phosphate nanotubes with mesoporous walls. The removal of the surfactant by acetate exchange and heat treatment results in the clean mesoporous nanotubes of iron phosphate with diameters of 50-400 nm and lengths of several microns. The nanotubular and mesoporous iron phosphate possesses a specific surface area of 232 m2/g and a bimodal distribution of pore sizes, corresponding to the size of mesopores in the walls and the diameter of the nanotubes, respectively. The novel nanotubular iron phosphate with composite meso-macroporous structure, in favor of the diffusion of reactive molecules, has been tested for direct hydroxylation of benzene with hydrogen peroxide and has shown better catalytic performance compared with the conventional particulate mesoporous iron phosphate |
