Abstract

Multimetallic mesoporous spheres are successfully synthesized with ultra-large mesopores with the assistance of nonionic triblock copolymer (F127) as a structural directing agent. The kinetically controlled reduction rate of metal species and the concentration of F127 are critical to the formation of the large mesopores.
