Bimodal pore systems in non-ionically templated [Si]-MSU-X mesoporous silica through biomimetic synthesis in weakly ionic solutions
Abstract
Non-ionically templated [Si]-MSU-1 mesoporous silicas have been prepared in weakly ionic sodium salt solutions from a non-ionic silica precursor and exhibit highly symmetric bimodal mesopore systems and demonstrate the immense flexibility of the non-ionic templating system.
