‘Mesoporous materials’ refers to highly porous materials in which the pore diameters belong to the mesopore range, i.e., 2 ~ 50 nm. The first designed synthesis of mesoporous materials with uniform pore arrangement and diameters was reported as ‘MCM-41’ silica by Mobil researchers in 1992. Since then, the research area on mesoporous materials grew enormously, leading to numerous practical and potential applications in adsorption, separation, drug delivery, electrical energy storage and catalysis. In the present conference, I would like to introduce major leaps for synthesis of such functional mesoporous materials. In particular, this talk will emphasize a recent synthetic strategy developed in my laboratory toward hierarchical structure direction using heteroatom-containing surfactants and polymers. |
