A one-step synthesis of hollow periodic mesoporous organosilica spheres with radially oriented mesochannels

Abstract

A simple and effective one-step method is proposed for the fabrication of hollow periodic mesoporous organosilica spheres (HPMOSs). The obtained HPMOSs possess well-defined spherical morphology, uniform and tunable particle size, adjustable hollow void structure, and radially oriented mesochannels in their shells.
