An ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate with completely crystalline zeolite wall structure

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Aug 23;128(33):10636-7. doi: 10.1021/ja061182l.

Abstract

An ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate with completely crystalline zeolite pore wall structure, denoted as OMZ-1, was successfully synthesized by recrystallization of SBA-15 using in situ formed CMK-5 as the hard template. The role of carbon material not only serves as a hard template to preserve ordered mesoporous structure but also kinetically controls the crystallization process to form large crystals.
