One-pot surfactant assisted synthesis of aluminosilicate macrochannels with tunable micro- or mesoporous wall structure

Chem Commun (Camb). 2003 Oct 21:(20):2568-9. doi: 10.1039/b307720a.

Abstract

A one-step surfactant assisted synthesis pathway was developed leading to novel hierarchical macro-meso- (or micro-)porous aluminosilicates made of an assembly of macrochannels with openings between 0.5 and 2.0 microm and wormhole-like amorphous walls with tunable pore sizes.
