Hollow Spheres of Mesoporous Aluminosilicate with a Three-Dimensional Pore Network and Extraordinarily High Hydrothermal Stability

Abstract

A hollow-structured and highly ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate with a 3D pore network and significantly improved hydrothermal stability has been successfully prepared by a simple method. To elucidate its novel structure and improved hydrothermal stability, a model for the formation of such a hollow spherical material has been proposed.
