Mesoporous materials synthesis & applications
This document discusses mesoporous materials, including their classification, synthesis, and applications. Mesoporous materials have pore sizes between 2-50 nm and high surface areas between 400-1000 m2/g. They are commonly synthesized using a soft template method involving surfactants. Mesoporous materials have a wide range of applications including adsorption, chromatography, catalysis, sensors, and drug delivery due to their tunable pore sizes and large surface areas.

- 20. Conclusion Mesoporous materialshave attracted ever-growing attention owing to their unique structural characteristics such as tunable pore size, controllable morphology, large surface area, and moderate pore size range with easy access for guest species. These remarkable features open up a broad application spectrum of mesoporous materials, making them promising candidates in catalysis, absorption, membranes and separation, sensors. A key issue for the applicability of these mesoporous materials is associated with the thermal, and more importantly the hydrothermal and mechanical stabilities.
Editor's Notes
- #5 Most generalized definition of porous materials is continuous and solid network material filled through voids. A material can be recognized as porous if its internal voids can be filled with gases.
- #6 Pore type Pore Size Condensation mechanism Type of Adsorption Micropore < 2 nm Tree-dimensional Non-specific Mesopore ≥ 2 ≤ 50 nm Capillary Specific Macropore > 50 nm No condensation -
- #7 “the overwhelming tendency for solids to minimize void space within their structure” is inherent , porous materials are difficult to make naturally. But Einstein say “ in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity” The above statement was made true by the Mobil scientist in the year of 1992 by successfully synthesizing the Mesoporous materials (MCM-41 and MCM-48) by using soft template strategy. This opened a new area of materials called Mesoporous materials, and still lot of work are fascinating in this field. Meso a Greek prefix – “ in between ” - micro and macro porous system Mesoporous materials may be ordered or disordered. They possess high Surface area -400 -1000 m2/g Large pore volume High stability -500 -600 °C They are usually synthesized by the use of Soft template method. Ex: MCM-41,SBA-15,FDU-11,IITM-56 etc.

- #18 The functionalization of MCM-41 and SBA-15, respectively, with amino groups as an effective method to control IBU release. The ionic interaction between the carboxy groups in IBU and the amino groups on the matrix surface allows the release rate of IBU from amino functionalized SMMs to be effectively controlled (SMM=silica mesoporous material). NMR analysis revealed that IBU molecules are tightly linked at the surface because the drug–surface ionic interactions are stronger than the IBU dimer hydrogen bonds.
- #19 Poly(furfuryl alcohol) was introduced into a pore system of MCM-48 silica by the precipitation polycondensation of furfuryl alcohol (FA). The complete filling of the pores without the deposition of significant amounts of polymer on the external surface of MCM-48 was obtained at the FA/MCM-48 mass ratio close to 1.0. The final structure of carbon replica was formed by subsequent carbonization and extraction of SiO2 with HF. The carbonization temperature strongly influenced the surface composition of the formed carbon replicas. The highest catalytic activity in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene was observed for CMK-1 with the highest concentration of phenol and carbonyl groups, recognized as active sites of the studied reaction.
- #20 These materials are attractive magnetic probes for biological imaging and therapeutic applications. Core diameter near about 20nm and overall particle diameter near about 50nm, the size is much smaller than size of the cell and is comparable to size of nuclei. When these are coupled with target agent, they serve as nanovectors and interact specifically with biomolecules. Drug carriers with magnetic NPs can respond to an external magnetic field, which makes them good magnetic targeting agents for drug delivery. Drug delivery: The functionalization of MCM-41 and SBA-15, respectively, with amino groups as an effective method to control IBU release. (SMM=silica mesoporous material). CATALYSIS : Various types of reactions are catalyzed using magnetic mesoporous nanocomposites, such as olefin epoxidation, hydrogenation, Knoevenagel reaction. Wastewater treatment: Various organo-functionalized mesoporous materials such as thiols, thioether and amino groups have been reported for metal ion removal and dye adsorption. These materials exhibited highly selective adsorption of Hg2+.
