Thermally stable materials based on mesostructured sulfated zirconia

Thermally stable mesoporous materials based on zirconia stabilized by silica were synthesized in two steps using hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as a template. The formation of material structure was studied with low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, TGA, XRD, ammonia TPD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy technique. The influence of the stabilization time and Zr/Si ratio on the properties of materials was estimated.
