Abstract

Here we report on the sol–gel synthesis of porous inorganic materials based on manganese, molybdenum, and tungsten compounds using the “core–shell” siloxane-acrylate latex as a template. The chemical composition and structural characteristics of the materials obtained have been investigated. It was shown that temperature conditions and gaseous media composition during the template destruction controlled the composition and structure of porous materials. To obtain porous inorganic materials for catalytic applications, the “core–shell” latex template was preliminarily functionalized by gold and palladium nanoparticles obtained by thermal reduction of noble metal ions-precursors in a polycarboxylic “shell”. Upon the template removal, noble metals nanoparticles of a size of dozens of nanometers were homogeneously distributed in the material porous structure. The evaluation of the catalytic activity of macroporous manganese, tungsten, and molybdenum oxides under the conditions of liquid phase catalytic oxidation of organic dyes has been performed. The prospects of employing macroporous oxide systems with immobilized nanoparticles of noble metals in the processes of hydrothermal oxidation of radionuclide organic complexes in radioactive waste decontamination have been demonstrated.
