The experimental data and results demonstrated here illustrate the preparation and application of mesoporous metal oxides in energy storage, adsorption, and catalysis. First, a new method of controlling the pore size and wall thickness of mesoporous silica was developed by contr…
Ordered mesoporous materials have attracted much attention recently for use in a wide range of applications. The oxidising materials, ceria (CeO₂) and CGO (Ce₀.₉Gd₀.₁O[subscript(2-δ)]) have both been synthesised with ordered mesopores, but a method for the simple fabrication of …
Mesoporous monocrystalline metal oxides (e.g. Co₃O₄, Cr₂O₃, NiO, CeO₂, In₂O₃ and WO₃) templated by SBA-15 or KIT-6 were synthesised successfully by using a simple solvent-free approach, the so-called solid-liquid method, which was the principal development of methodology in this…
A range of mesoporous materials based on SBA-15, KIT-6 and FDU-12 have been prepared using neutral block copolymers Pluronic P123 and F127 and characterised using methods including electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption. Typically the materials have a hexagonal (p6mm) or cu…
