A P123/benzyl alcohol/TEOS/HCl(aq.) templating system for preparation of KIT-6 type mesoporous silica with morphological and structural control

Dalton Trans. 2022 Nov 8;51(43):16439-16443. doi: 10.1039/d2dt02884k.

Abstract

A new P123 templating system is reported for preparing KIT-6s with a large synthesis domain and controllable particle morphology by using benzyl alcohol (Bz) as a co-solvent based on the partitioned cooperative self-assembly (PCSA) principle. As a result, spherical and rod-like KIT-6 can be obtained.
