title: Mesoporous Mn-Zr composite oxides with a crystalline wall: synthesis, characterization and application.
abstract: Mesoporous Mn-Zr composite oxides (M-MnZr) with a crystalline wall were designed and achieved by a facile one-pot evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) strategy. As proved by XRD, HRTEM and SAED characterization, the wall of the obtained mesoporous materials exhibited a typical tetragonal phase of ZrO2. In addition, the introduced manganese species were homogeneously dispersed in the mesoporous skeleton. N2-physisorption and TEM results showed that all the final materials possessed an obvious mesoporous structure accompanied by a large specific surface area (∼120 m(2) g(-1)), big pore volume (∼0.2 cm(3) g(-1)) and uniform pore size (∼4.9 nm). In addition, the liquid phase oxidation was chosen as the test reaction and the excellent catalytic performance of M-MnZr demonstrated their potential applications in oxidation reactions.
