MCM-41 particles were synthesized using inorganic raw materials and  Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The textural properties and structure of MCM-41 particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and N2 adsorption-desorption methods. To study performance of Dubinin-Astakhov and Dubinin-Raduchkevic isotherm models in evaluating mesopore volume and pore size of MCM-41 samples, the mesopore ...

Mesoporous polymers with tunable large mesopores and thin mesopore walls were synthesized through a CO2-swollen micelle templating route. The mesopore size and porosity properties of the polymers can be easily modulated by adjusting CO2 pressure. The as-synthesized mesocellular polymers are excellent candidate supports for preparing heterogeneous catalysts.

We report the direct fabrication of mesoporous zeolite with a hollow spherical/ellipsoidal capsule structure by using conventional TPAOH and CTAB as soft micro- and mesopore generating templates; the mesoporous zeolite shows a high surface area of 717 m(2) g(-1) and small mesopore size of around 3 nm.

three activated carbons are synthesized in a rotary reactor at different activation times. the adsorption isotherms of the samples are measured the pore size distribution of the samples is determined using combined saito and foley method, bjh method. an average potential function has been determined inside the cylindrical pores. the effect of activation time on the pore size distribution sample...

Carbon aerogels prepared at different carbonization temperatures and with varying mesopore volumes were used as supports for Pt catalysts to study the n-C4H10/H2 reaction. Mean Pt particle size depended on the mesopore volume of the support, showing a linear decrease when the mesopore volume increased. The turnover frequency (TOF) for hydrogenolysis was much higher than for isomerization in cat...

Iron-doped titanium dioxide nanoarchitectures with ordered mesopore periodicity and enhanced photocatalytic activity have been developed as photofunctional materials for environmental purification.

A new restriction effect of hard templates for the shrinkage of mesoporous polymer results in anomalous increase of the mesopore size during carbonization.

Three-dimensional silicon carbide-based frameworks with hierarchical micro-, meso-, and macroporous structures (3MPSiC) were prepared by a template method with subsequent carbonization via an aerosol spray drying method. The micropores were derived from partial vaporization of Si atoms during the carbonization process, whereas the meso- and macropores were generated by self-assembly of the stru...
