Abstract

The highly ordered mesoporous CoFe2O4 and CuFe2O4 with crystalline walls can be synthesized by hard template with using mesoporous silica SBA-15 as hard template and using ferric nitrate, cobalt nitrate, and copper nitrate as metal precursors. These new mesoporous materials above have high surface areas, narrow pore size distribution, and large pore volumes, which are believed to be valuable for the potential application in the field of sensors, catalysis, message recording, magnetics, and biology. This work provides a method to fabricate the highly ordered mesoporous materials composed of multi-metal oxides with crystalline walls. The development of such versatile approach is of great significance in practical application. It can be envisaged that this established method is significantly expandable to the controlled synthesis of the mesoporous functional materials with diverse compositions.
