Solid AlPO-5 and La doped AlPO-5 (La/AlPO-5) were synthesized by a hydrothermal treatment followed by crystallization and calcination . The ammonia (NH 3 ) sensing properties of AlPO-5 and La/AlPO-5 were evaluated by using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) platform to work out the enhanced effect of La doping treatment. La/AlPO-5 possessed a higher response to NH 3 than that of AlPO-5 with same concentration. In addition to the favorable sensitivity, La/AlPO-5 based sensor also showed prominent repeatability and selectivity. We also explored the thermodynamics and humidity-enhanced effect in the NH 3 sensing process.

The research on the heterogeneous catalytic synthesis of tetrazoles has attracted great attention. In this paper, a tungsten atom-containing AlPO-5 microporous molecular sieve (termed as WAlPO-5) was designed and synthesized by the incorporation of tungsten atoms into the AlPO-5 skeleton with triethylamine as a structure template from pseudoboehmite, H3PO4 and tungstophosphoric acid. The incorporation of tungsten atoms into the AlPO-5 skeleton has been demonstrated by systematic characterizations. WAlPO-5 can be used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles by [3+2] cycloaddition from nitriles and sodium azide. As a novel heterogeneous catalyst, WAlPO-5 exhibits a high catalytic activity, a superior cycling stability and an excellent substrate applicability. The significant advantages of WAlPO-5, such as the simple procedure and the mild reaction conditions and as an alternative to those corrosive, hazardous and polluting homogeneous catalysts, warrant its potential application in industrial processes.
