A simple route to bimodal mesoporous silicavia tetrafluoroborate ion-mediated hydrophobic transformation of template micellar surface

Abstract

Addition of NaBF4 to an aqueous solution of an onium ion surfactant results in the in situ generation of large aggregates of micelles, which template the formation of secondary pores in the sol-gel synthesis of mesoporous silica.
