Identification of the silver state in the framework of Ag-containing zeolite by XRD, FTIR, photoluminescence, 109 Ag NMR, EPR, DR UV-vis, TEM and XPS investigations
Abstract
Silver has been identified in the framework of AgxSiBEA zeolites (where x = 3–6 Ag wt%) by the combined use of XRD, 109Ag MAS NMR, FTIR, diffuse reflectance UV-visible, EPR and XPS spectroscopy. The incorporation of Ag ions into the framework of SiBEA zeolite has been evidenced by XRD. The consumption of OH groups as a result of their reaction with the silver precursor has been monitored by FTIR and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The changes in the silver state as a function of Ag content and thermal and hydrogen treatment at 573 K have been identified by 109Ag MAS NMR, EPR, DR UV-visible, TEM and XPS investigations. The acidity of AgSiBEA has been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO and pyridine used as probe molecules.
