Template-Based Approaches to the Preparation of Amorphous, Nanoporous Silicas

چکیده
This review discusses two classes of organic template-derived amorphous silicas distinguished by the nature of template-matrix interactions and the extent to which subsequent processing dictates the final pore morphology. First we discuss surfactant-templated silicas where the template-matrix interaction is via non-covalent bonding mechanisms and the pore structure is established in the solution stage. We then discuss silicas templated by organic ligands covalently bonded to the siloxane network where subsequent processing strongly influences the final pore structure.

Ordered Nanoporous Carbon Structures Synthesized Using Large-pore Mesoporous Silica Templates
Poly(alkylene oxide)-type block copolymers have been recently shown to be particularly versatile as structure-directing agents for the preparation of ordered large-pore mesoporous silica materials. In principle, the structure direction is achieved through the formation of periodic supramolecular self-assemblies between the polymeric surfactants and a silica source in the aqueous solution. The o...
متن کاملSynthesis of gold nanoparticles: a new approach in using a nanoporous membrane in conjunction with ultrasonication
Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of HAuCl4 inside the pores of a polycarbonate-based membrane followed by dissolving the membrane in dichloromethane and further sonication. Sonication time as the main affecting factor on the nanoparticle size was investigated. The characterization by transmission electron microscopy showed the formation of gold nanoparticles with diamet...

متن کاملEffect of Preparation Methods and Pluronic Template on the Catalytic Activity of Ca/SBA-15
Two approaches for metal ion incorporation were employed to introduce Ca2+ into SBA-15; Direct Synthesis (DS) and Wet Impregnation (WI). The non-ionic template was removed by two different methods; calcination and solvent extraction. The obtained catalysts were characterized by means of X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and FT-IR spectroscopy. The bas...
متن کاملHighly nanoporous silicas with pore apertures near the boundary between micro- and mesopores through an orthogonal self-assembly approach.
Nanoporous silicas having some periodicity, high surface area (up to 1230 m(2) g(-1)), and pore diameters near the boundary between micro- and mesopores are synthesized using aromatic compounds bearing anionic end-groups as novel structure-directing agents (SDAs) that can facilitate multiple interactions between SDAs, co-SDAs and silica frameworks orthogonally.
