Synthesis of Siliceous Hollow Spheres with Ultra Large Mesopore Wall Structures by Reverse Emulsion Templating

Abstract
By using reverse emulsion templating, siliceous hollow spheres with ultra large mesopore wall structures (∼50 nm in pore diameter, ∼200 nm in wall thickness) have been synthesized with a high surface area (674 m2/g) and pore volume (1.25 cm3/g).
