Hybrid porous titania phosphonate networks with different bridging functionalities: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation as efficient solvent separation materials

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

Hybrid titania phosphonate materials can demonstrate a high added value as tailored sorption materials. They combine high chemical stability with great structural versatility, given the wide diversity of functional groups that can be incorporated. Hereto, a fundamental understanding of the synthesis strategies influencing the material performance is required. Therefore three porous TiO2 phosphonate hybrid structures with different functional groups (octyl, propyl, and phenyl) were evaluated in a solid-phase extraction application aimed towards solvent separation. The synthesis was performed by mixing bridged diphosphonic acids (DPAs) with Ti (OBu)4 in a water-ethanol mixture at 30 degrees C, followed by a hydrothermal post-treatment at 120 degrees C. The materials were characterized by ICP-AES, 31P solid-state CP/MAS NMR, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2-sorption, and transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that the diphosphonic acids are quantitatively incorporated in the hybrid structures, leading to nanosized particles with a complex but uniquely functionalized surface. A study of the pore structure as a function of the incorporated DPA amount showed materials with a maximum BET surface area of 379 m2/g. The alkyl functionalized hybrid titania phosphonates demonstrated excellent and tunable sorption behavior.
