Immobilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the surface of zeolite has received a great interest due to Au@zeolite's unique characteristics and high performance for catalysis. In this work we studied the grafting of two different functional molecules; one having an amine group (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and the second having a thiol group (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTES) on the surface of zeolite using the same wet chemistry method. The modified zeolite surfaces were characterized using zeta potential measurements; diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform (DRIFT) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results confirmed a successful deposition of both functional groups at the topmost surface of the zeolite. Furthermore; transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and XPS results clearly evidenced that APTES provided a better AuNPs immobilization than MPTES as a result of; (1) less active functions obtained after MPTES deposition, and (2) the better attaching ability of thiol to the gold surface.
由于金@沸石具有独特的特性和高效的催化性能,将金纳米颗粒(AuNPs)固定在沸石表面引起了广泛关注。在这项工作中,我们研究了两种不同功能分子的接枝;一种具有胺基(3-氨丙基)三乙氧基硅烷(APTES),另一种具有硫醇基(3-巯丙基)三甲氧基硅烷(MPTES),采用相同的湿化学方法将它们接枝到沸石表面。使用zeta电位测量、漫反射红外傅里叶变换(DRIFT)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对改性沸石表面进行了表征。结果证实了两种官能团都成功沉积在沸石的最表面。此外,透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外可见(UV-Vis)光谱和XPS结果清楚地表明,由于以下原因,APTES比MPTES提供了更好的AuNPs固定效果:(1)MPTES沉积后获得的活性官能团较少,(2)硫醇对金表面的附着能力更强。
