Abstract

The mesoporous silica MCM-41 materials with hexastyle structure were synthesized under strongly acidic condition. The characteristics of samples were investigated by using XRD, N2 adsorption, HREM, and SEM techniques. The results show that MCM-41 powder with hexastyle structure, which is wormlike in micrometer-scale, consists of thousands of mesoporous channels in nano-scale. The morphogenesis of hexastyle mesoporous silica is due to the accretion of surfactant micella combined with silica oligmers in the low concentration of TEOS.
