Five different ordered mesoporous silica samples displaying various pore sizes and structures (two small-pore MCM-41, two large-pore one MCM-48) amorphous gel have been grafted with either aminopropyl or mercaptopropyl groups. The resulting aminopropyl-grafted silicas (APS) mercaptopropyl-grafted (MPS) studied in solution via protonation of APS metal ion binding on both MPS. Special attention was given to characterize the accessibility sites speed at which reactants are reaching these...
Highly ordered and vertically oriented mesoporous silica films can be generated by electro-assisted self-assembly (EASA). The method involves the electrogeneration of hydroxide ions at an electrode surface immersed in hydrolyzed sol solution (containing typically tetraethoxysilane, TEOS, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) order to catalyze polycondensation precursors hexagonally packed one-dimensional channels that grow perpendicularly support. Vertically aligned mesostructures have been...

The speed at which selected reactants are reaching active sites grafted on porous silica gels of various nature and porosity was evaluated using some model systems: protonation aminopropyl-grafted (APS), mercury(II) binding mercaptopropyl-grafted (MPS), accumulation copper(II) APS. Data were obtained from batch experiments, by monitoring the consumption reactant in solutions containing solid phases as dispersed particles (average size: 60−150 μm). Various solids studied, with pore diameter...

Surfactant-templated mesoporous silica thin films can be deposited onto solid electrode surfaces by electrochemically assisted self-assembly (EASA). The method involves a cathodically triggered of cationic surfactants (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB) and local pH increase leading to the polycondensation precursors (i.e., tetraethoxysilane, alone or in presence (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS)) concomitant growth ordered organosilica film. present work shows that EASA applied...
