New silica-pillared material prepared from the layered silicic acid of ilerite
Abstract
A new siliceous porous material of high BET surface area is derived from an intercalation of octylamine and tetraethylorthosilicate into the layered silicic acid of ilerite; the resultant pillared material has a BET surface area of over 1000 m2 g–1 at 600 °C and 580 m2 g–1 even at 900 °C.
