Mesoporous materials have been widely used due to their high specific surface area, uniform pore diameter, large pore volume and stability for recyclability. Noticeably, transition metal oxide (TMO) is the prerequisite for the development of various functional materials. In other words, nanoporous TMOs are promising materials used in various applications, including catalysis, gas sensors, solar cells, supercapacitors, and lithium-ion batteries due to their high reversible capacity and structural stability. Copper oxide (CuO) is the attracting material owing to its high theoretical capacity as an electrode, abundance, environmental friendliness, nontoxicity, and low cost. Thus, expecting the synergistic effects of mesoporous CuO and TMOs, CuO-based mesoporous metal oxides were obtained via the nano-replication route using the mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a hard template. The materials were investigated using X-ray Diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm analysis, and scanning electron microscope. In addition, electrochemical performances were detected. |
