Preparation of spherical mesoporous silica

MCM-41 is one of the famous groups of mesoporous materials which contain highly ordered hexagonal/cylandrical pores. They are used as adsorbents, ion exchangers and supports. Here spherical MCM-41 is synthesized using the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTABr) as the structure directing agent. SAX, FTIR, and SEM analysis confirmed the formation of these materials.
