Article Abstract
In the race for viable solutions that could slow down carbon emissions and help in meeting the climate change targets a lot of effort is being made towards the development of suitable CO adsorbents with high surface area, tunable pore size and surface functionalities that could enhance selective adsorption. Here, we explored the use of silsesquioxane pillared graphene oxide for CO capture; we modified silsesquioxane loading and processing parameters in order to obtain pillared structures with nanopores of the tailored size and surface properties to maximize the CO sorption capacity. Powder X-ray diffraction, XPS and FTIR spectroscopies, thermal analysis (DTA/TGA), surface area measurements and CO adsorption measurements were employed to characterize the materials and evaluate their performance. Through this optimisation process, materials with good CO storage capacities of up to 1.7/1.5 mmol g at 273 K/298 K in atmospheric pressure, were achieved.

Iron-substituted cubic silsesquioxane pillared clays: Synthesis, characterization and acid catalytic activity.

Novel pillared structures were developed from the intercalation of iron-substituted cubic silsesquioxanes in a sodium and an acid-activated montmorillonite nanoclay and evaluated as acid catalysts. Octameric cubic oligosiloxanes were formed upon controlled hydrolytic polycondensation of the corresponding monomer (a diamino-alkoxysilane) and reacted with iron cations to form complexes that were intercalated within the layered nanoclay matrices. Upon calcination iron oxide nanoparticles are formed which are located on the silica cubes (pillars) and on the surfaces of the clay platelets.

Porous organic-inorganic materials with tunable textural characteristics were synthesized using the top-down process by intercalating silsesquioxanes and polyhedral oligomeric siloxanes of different types between crystalline zeolite-derived layers. The influence of key parameters such as (i) linker nature (pure hydrocarbon, S-, N-containing); (ii) chain length in alkyl- and aryl bis(trialkoxysilyl) derivatives; (iii) denticity of the organic precursor molecules; (iv) nature and size of side chain in mono(trialkoxysilyl) substrates; (v) rigidity of the chain (saturated unsaturated, aliphatic aromatic); (vi) nature and size of leaving group on the structural and textural properties of formed hybrids was carefully addressed. It was established, that the optimal silsesquioxane appropriate for the formation of zeolite-derived hybrids with high textural characteristics should possess short alkyl or long aryl chains, relatively small leaving groups and denticity larger than 3.

Novel layered organic-inorganic materials functionalized with amino groups have been synthesized by using a two-dimensional zeolitic precursor, IPC-1P, prepared by a top-down approach from zeolite UTL. The formation of porous materials containing silsesquioxane linkers covalently bonded to zeolite layers in the interlayer space was confirmed by a variety of characterization techniques (N sorption, XRD, TEM). The textural properties and catalytic behavior of functionalized hybrid materials synthesized by direct pillaring of IPC-1P or by grafting of (3-aminopropyl)silyl groups to the IPC-1P precursor preliminarily pillared with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) were compared.
