Uniform formation of uranium oxide nanocrystals inside ordered mesoporous hosts and their potential applications as oxidative catalysts.
Highly dispersed uranium oxide nanocrystals supported on ordered mesoporous silica matrixes with large surface areas and porosities have been synthesized via a co-assembly methodology; the preliminary catalysis tests showed that these materials have a high catalytic activity for the thermal oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
