A novel synthesis of highly ordered P‐SBA‐15 mesoporous materials

Abstract

Abstract A simple synthesis method is presented to prepare highly ordered novel P‐SBA‐15 materials, which can provide additional BrØnsted acid sites for potential applications in catalysis. The developed materials have been unambiguously characterized by various techniques such as SAXS, nitrogen physisorption, SEM, TEM, 31PNMR and FT‐IR spectroscopy. The SAXS and TEM results revealed well‐ordered hexagonal arrays of mesoporous materials. 31PNMR and EDS results confirmed the incorporation of phosphorous in the SB A‐15 network. The method can provide an efficient way to synthesize high phosphorous content mesoporous silica with ordered structure.
