520 |a We have developed a comprehensive strategy for quantitatively assessing the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of nanoporous materials by combining advanced adsorption studies, novel liquid intrusion techniques, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. For this, we have chosen a well-defined system of model materials, i.e., the highly ordered mesoporous silica molecular sieve SBA-15 in its pristine state and functionalized with different amounts of trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups, allowing one to accurately tailor the surface chemistry while maintaining the well-defined pore structure. For an absolute quantification of the trimethylsilyl group density, quantitative 1H solid-state NMR spectroscopy under magic angle spinning was employed. A full textural characterization of the materials was obtained by high-resolution argon 87 K adsorption, coupled with the application of dedicated methods based on nonlocal-density functional theory (NLDFT). Based on the known texture of the model materials, we developed a novel methodology allowing one to determine the effective contact angle of water adsorbed on the pore surfaces from complete wetting to nonwetting, constituting a powerful parameter for the characterization of the surface chemistry inside porous materials. The surface chemistry was found to vary from hydrophilic to hydrophobic as the TMS functionalization content was increased. For wetting and partially wetting surfaces, pore condensation of water is observed at pressures P smaller than the bulk saturation pressure p0 (i.e., at p/p0 < 1) and the effective contact angle of water on the pore walls could be derived from the water sorption isotherms. However, for nonwetting surfaces, pore condensation occurs at pressures above the saturation pressure (i.e., at p/p0 > 1). In this case, we investigated the pore filling of water (i.e., the vapor-liquid phase transition) by the application of a novel, liquid water intrusion/extrusion methodology, allowing one to derive the effective contact angle of water on the pore walls even in the case of nonwetting. Complementary molecular simulations provide density profiles of water on pristine and TMS-grafted silica surfaces (mimicking the tailored, functionalized experimental silica surfaces), which allow for a molecular view on the water adsorbate structure. Summarizing, we present a comprehensive and reliable methodology for quantitatively assessing the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of siliceous nanoporous materials, which has the potential to optimize applications in heterogeneous catalysis and separation (e.g., chromatography)
