A process for preparing a mesoporous metal oxide, i.e., transition metal oxide, Lanthanide metal oxide, a post-transition metal oxide and metalloid oxide. The process comprises providing a micellar solution comprising a metal precursor, an interface modifier, a hydrotropic ion precursor, and a surfactant; and heating the micellar solution at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to form the mesoporous metal oxide. A mesoporous metal oxide prepared by the above process. A method of controlling nano-sized wall crystallinity and mesoporosity in mesoporous metal oxides. The method comprises providing a micellar solution comprising a metal precursor, an interface modifier, a hydrotropic ion precursor, and a surfactant; and heating the micellar solution at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to control nano-sized wall crystallinity and mesoporosity in the mesoporous metal oxides. Mesoporous metal oxides and a method of tuning structural properties of mesoporous metal oxides.
A process for preparing a mesoporous metal oxide, said process comprising:
A mesoporous metal oxide produced by a process comprising:
A method of controlling nano-sized wall crystallinity and mesoporosity in mesoporous metal oxides, said method comprising:
A mesoporous metal oxide particulate having nano-sized wall crystallinity, a particle size between about 1 and about 500 nm, a BET surface area between about 50 and about 1000 m2/g, a pore volume (BJH) between about 0.05 and about 2 cm3/g, a monomodal pore size (BJH desorption) distribution between about 1 and 25 nm, and optionally a wall thickness (2d/√3−PD, where d is the d-spacing and PD is the pore diameter) between about 2 and about 20 nm;
A method of tuning structural properties of mesoporous metal oxides, said method comprising:
