Generation of hierarchical pore systems in the titanosilicate ETS-10 by hydrogen peroxide treatment under microwave irradiation

Abstract

Supermicropores and well-defined mesopores with an average size of 10 nm were created in ETS-10 structure by post-synthesis treatment with H2O2 under microwave irradiation. Macropores were also formed and the external surface area of the material was increased during the treatment.
