Abstract

Single-crystalline mesoporous silica KIT-6 microspheres were synthesized using complex micelles formed by nonionic surfactant(polyethylene oxide(PEO)-polypropylene oxide (PPO)-polyethylene oxide,P123) and cationic polyelectrolyte(poly dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride,PAC) as templates.The morphology and pore structure of the synthesized materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),nitrogen physical adsorption and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).The results showed that the mesoporous KIT-6 silica material synthesized with the organic complex micelles as templates had regular spherical morphology and particle diameter of 2~3 μm.It had a large specific surface area and pore volume(747 m2/g and 1.3 cm3/g) and the mesoporous pore size was 8.5 nm.Within the whole KIT-6 particle,the alignment of mesopores exhibited long-range order.Due to the strong interaction between long-chain polyelectrolyte PAC and the silicon source,the samples were synthesized at a relatively high hydrothermal temperature(160 ℃),which was helpful to improve the stability of the mesoscopic structure.This synthesis method had some enlightening significance for the synthesis of mesoporous silica KIT-6 single crystal microspheres and their applications in the fields of catalysis,adsorption and separation.
