Biomimetic synthesis of microporous and mesoporous materials at room temperature and neutral pH, with application in electronics, controlled release of chemicals, and catalysis†
Abstract
Micro- and mesoporous materials molecular sieves have been synthesized at neutral pH and room temperature using a mimic of “silicatein” for mobilizing the silica. This methodology allows preparing molecular sieves materials in where less stable molecules can be encapsulated, leading to a final material with potential applications in electronics (conducting
