Mesoporous material

Mesoporous material

A mesoporous material is a material containing pores with diameters between 2 and 50 nm.

Porous materials are classified into several kinds by their size. According to IUPAC notation[1], microporous materials have pore diameters of less than 2 nm and macroporous materials have pore diameters of greater than 50 nm; the mesoporous category thus lies in the middle.

Typical mesoporous materials include some kinds of silica and alumina that have similarly-sized fine mesopores. Mesoporous oxides of niobium, tantalum, titanium, zirconium, cerium and tin have also been reported. According to the IUPAC, a mesoporous material can be disordered or ordered in a mesostructure.

A procedure for producing mesoporous materials (silica) was patented around 1970.[2][3][4] It went almost unnoticed[5] and was reproduced in 1997.[6] Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were independently synthesized in 1990 by researchers in Japan.[7] They were later produced also at Mobil Corporation laboratories [8] and named Mobil Crystalline Materials, or MCM-41.[9]

Since then, research in this field has steadily grown. Notable examples of prospective applications are catalysis, sorption, gas sensing, ion exchange, optics, and photovoltaics.
