Abstract

The invention relates to templated active material, including those deriving order from organic and/or inorganic templating agents. The invention also relates to methods for producing templated active material, and to active material produced by such methods, and the use of such templated active material for producing oxygenate.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A templated active material, comprising:
(a) a first metal M 1 , wherein M 1 includes at least one metal selected from Groups 7-12 of the Periodic Table;
(b) ≥0.5 wt. % of a second metal M 2 , wherein (i) M 2 is not the same as M 1 and (ii) M 2 includes at least one metal selected from Groups 7-12 of the Periodic Table;
(c) ≤1.0 wt. % of oxide of M 1 and
(d) ≤1.0 wt. % of oxide of M 2 , the templated active material having
(i) an M 2 to M 1 molar ratio in the range of from 0.1 to 10,
(ii) a plurality of pores having an average pore size in the range of from 2 nm to 50 nm, and
(iii) an average surface area ≥50 m 2 /g wherein the templated active material's template is produced from a carbonaceous structure-directing agent, the carbonaceous structure-directing agent comprising one or more of siloxane, urea, and surfactant.

2. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein M 1 includes one or more of Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, Zn, Rh, and Ru.

3. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein M 2 includes one or more of Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, Zn, Rh, and Ru.

4. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein M 1 is Fe, and the templated active material comprises 1.0 wt. % to 50.0 wt. % Fe.

5. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein M 2 is Cu, and the templated active material comprises 1.0 wt. % to 50.0 wt. % Cu.

6. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein the M 2 to M 1 molar ratio is in the range of from 0.25 to 4, and the templated active material contains ≤0.05 wt. % of any oxide of M 1 and/or any oxide of M 2 .

7. The templated active material of claim 1 , where the average pore size is in the range of from 4 nm to 25 nm.

8. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein the average surface area is in the range of from 50 m 2 /g to 350 m 2 /g.

9. The templated active material of claim 1 , wherein the templated active material's template includes one or more of MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15, KIT-6-100, and KIT-6-40.
