Article Abstract

Synthesis of a pentasil-type zeolite with ultra-small few-unit-cell crystalline domains, which we call FDP (few-unit-cell crystalline domain pentasil), is reported. FDP is made using bis-1,5(tributyl ammonium) pentamethylene cations as structure directing agent (SDA). This di-quaternary ammonium SDA combines butyl ammonium, in place of the one commonly used for MFI synthesis, propyl ammonium, and a five-carbon nitrogen-connecting chain, in place of the six-carbon connecting chain SDAs that are known to fit well within the MFI pores. X-ray diffraction analysis and electron microscopy imaging of FDP indicate ca. 10 nm crystalline domains organized in hierarchical micro-/meso-porous aggregates exhibiting mesoscopic order with an aggregate particle size up to ca. 5 μm. Al and Sn can be incorporated into the FDP zeolite framework to produce active and selective methanol-to-hydrocarbon and glucose isomerization catalysts, respectively.

Layered zeolitic silicates and corresponding interlayer-expanded porous materials exhibit attractive application potential in wide fields. Nonetheless, designable synthesis and structure analysis of layered silicates remain challenging. Herein, two kinds of layered silicates are synthesized using different di-quaternary ammonium-type organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs).

Non-Equilibrium Kinetic States of a [2]Rotaxane-Based Molecular Shuttle Controlled by Acid Concentrations.

A [2]rotaxane-based molecular shuttle with an acid-responsive asymmetric macrocycle on a symmetric dumbbell axle is reported. Upon adding TFA, the macrocycle, namely the amine naphthotube, is protonated and translocates from the di(quaternary ammonium) station to the triazole stations because of electrostatic repulsion and weakened binding. The shuttling kinetics are slow due to the steric hindrance caused by the ethyl group on the quaternary ammonium center and can be followed by H NMR spectroscopy.

The structure of zeolite SSZ-43 was determined by 3D electron diffraction, synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The SSZ-43 framework forms one-dimensional, sinusoidal 12-ring channels from 5 6 butterfly units commonly found in other zeolites, but with unique 6.5×6.

Article Synopsis
  • Cationic group distribution and elemental composition are crucial for improving the conductivity and stability of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs).
  • The study introduces a new type of polymer called DQA-TAPFE, created by modifying a fluorinated polymer with di-quaternary ammonium side chains, resulting in enhanced micro-phase separation that improves performance.
  • DQA-TAPFE-20 demonstrated a significantly higher ion conductivity and energy efficiency in VRFB applications compared to traditional membranes like Nafion 212, making it a promising alternative for battery technologies.
