摘要

The oversolubility of the non-polar methane (CH₄) gas in nano-confined liquid in nanoporous silica materials is investigated. A series of mesoporous silica materials with different pore sizes, pore volumes, and different amounts of nano-confined water (H₂O) are prepared using a pore-expanding reagent and surfactants of different chain-lengths, and the CH₄ absorption by the silica nano-materials is studied at 298 K under low CH₄ gas pressures. Analysis of the CH₄ absorption data reveals unequivocal evidence for oversolubility of CH₄ in the nano-confined H₂O of all the hydrated nano-materials. The solubility enhancements are several hundred fold relative to the CH₄ solubility in bulk H₂O. Interestingly, the enhancements are 25–30% higher when a tricopper cluster complex capable of efficient selective CH₄ oxidation under ambient conditions is immobilized into the nano-channels of the silica materials. This dramatic enhancement of the CH₄ solubility is attributed to specific CH₄ binding to the tricopper cluster complexes embedded within the mesopores of the nanoporous materials.
