Cage-like ordered silica with large mesopore volume synthesized by doubling amount of polymer, adding sodium chloride and lowering acid concentration.
Cage-like ordered mesoporous silica, FDU-1, with about twice the pore volume and a narrower pore size distribution compared with those for previously reported samples was synthesized in a much shorter time by doubling the amount of block copolymer, adding sodium chloride and lowering the acid concentration.
