In this study, the researchers synthesized mesoporous silica and used a strategy that adjusted the molar ratio of ethylenediamine (EDA) to Ni to create Ni/MS catalysts with varying Ni particle sizes.

Using a specially developed etching apparatus, a team at HZB has now produced mesoporous silicon layers with countless tiny pores and investigated their electrical and thermal conductivity.

The inorganic precursor, such as silica or metal oxides, condenses around these micelles, forming a composite material. Upon removal of the template by calcination or extraction, a mesoporous ...
