Pore surface fractal dimension of sol-gel derived nanoporous SiO2-ZrO2 membrane

Abstract:
In this work, SiO2 ZrO2 mixed oxides was prepared by the polymeric solgel route. The characterization of pore structure, which determines the permeation process of membrane, is of great importance. So far, most investigations have focused on such pore structure as specific surface area and pore size distribution, but the surface fractal, the important parameter reflecting the roughness of pore surface. Pore surface roughness change in SiO2-ZrO2 unsupported membranes induced by chemical composition and heating process has been investigated by the analysis of surface fractal dimension. Fractal features are analyzed from N2 adsorptiondesorption measurements. It was found that a decrease in the surface fractal dimension occurs while zirconia content increases at the unsupported membranes with different molar ratio of zirconia to silica heating at 500 ºC. The surface fractal dimension of membrane with 30 mol% silica content slightly increases while heating from 200 to 500 ºC due to shrinkage and increase of mass fractal dimension of silica clusters.
