Disordered mesoporous silicates formed by templation of a liquid crystal ( L 3 )

چکیده
Figure 1: A sketch of the L3 phase liquid crystal structure, derived from electron microscopy done on freeze fractured samples, as well as theoretical considerations. The pore diameters are uniform, but are randomly interconnected in all three dimensions resulting in short range order with long range disorder. The bilayer forming the liquid crystal can then be templated by a silica layer to capture the original liquid crystal structure as solid silica gel.

The preparation by true liquid crystal templating of mesoporous silicates containing nanoparticulate metals.
Mesostructured silicates containing metal nanoparticles have been synthesised via templating around a pre-formed, metal-containing mesophase using a non-ionic surfactant.

3-D flowerlike mesoporous architectures constructed by the ultrathin perpendicularly aligned mesoporous nanoflakes synthesized via a cooperative layered calcium silicate hydrates and liquid crystal dual-templating approach show an enhanced asymmetric catalytic activity owing to the facilitated diffusion from the reduced thickness of perpendicularly aligned mesoporous nanoflakes.
متن کاملThe synthesis of mesoporous silicates containing bimetallic nanoparticles and magnetic properties of PtCo nanoparticles in silica.
Using a one-pot approach employing true liquid crystal templating on neutral surfactants and simple metal salt precursors, mesostructured, mesoporous silicates have been prepared in which bimetallic nanoparticles are deposited; magnetic properties of PtCo systems so prepared are evaluated.
متن کاملConvective self-assembly to deposit supported ultra-thin mesoporous silica films
For practical consideration in applying mesoporous films for sensors, it is ideal to fabricate thinner films to achieve fast transport and therefore rapid response. Here we report a new, facile method to deposit mesoporous silica films with thickness less than 100 nm through combining convective self-assembly and surfactant/silica self-assembly. Through an interfacial capillarity defined in the...
متن کاملControl of morphology in synthesizing mesoporous silica*
Mesoporous silica can be synthesized by either the alkaline route or the acidic route, both using surfactants as templates. Morphological transformations of mesoporous silica can produce various hierarchical orders. Different morphologies are produced under different synthetic conditions. In the alkaline route, the surfactant/silicate liquid crystal system undergoes phase transformation to form...
