Potentialities of an Innovative Technique Like 129Xe NMR and of Saxs for the Characterization of Microporous Sol-Gel Derived SiO2
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Addition of surfactants in TEOS derived sols leads to micro- or mesoporous materials whose porous texture can be varied by changing the surfactant quantity and/or chain length. This series of materials, with a relatively narrow pore size distribution, is well adapted to study the potentialities of an innovative characterization technique like 129Xe Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in comparison with Small Angle X-ray Scattering and N2 adsorption. SAXS revealed a high surface rugosity of the materials and a good correlation with pore hydraulic radius distributions measured by N2 adsorption. Using 129Xe NMR, we have studied the Xe chemical shifts (δXe,) as a function of pXe, and have pointed out several original results showing the importance, for microporous materials, of the NMR line shapes and of the slope of the lines δXe.=f(pXe).
