Abstract

Nanocomposites based upon framework zirconium phosphates with supported WO3, MoO3 and Pt nanoparticles were synthesized via the incipient wetness impregnation of high-surface-area mesoporous phosphate samples with water solutions of corresponding salts followed by drying and calcination. The structure and surface properties of nanocomposites were studied by using combination of structural and spectral methods. Due to a strong interaction between supports and supported species, the structure of the latter differs considerably from that of the bulk phases. Surface acid centers typical for zirconium phosphates disappear suggesting their participation in bonding nanoparticles of promoters. Instead, new types of strong acid sites associated with tungsten oxide clusters emerge. The effect of these promoters on performance of zirconium phosphates in the reaction of pentane and hexane isomerization is considered.
