Abstract

The synthesis of crystalline mesoporous indium oxide by using a mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) as hard template is described. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) exhibits the presence of mesoporous structure in our sample and the corresponding wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed the crystalline wall of sample. N 2 adsorption measurement exhibits the synthesized crystalline mesoporous indium oxide possesses a specific surface area of 39 m 2/g and the total pore volume of 0.17 cm 3/g, and the corresponding pore size distribution curve reveals the presence of a mesopore of 7.0 nm in maximum. Our work demonstrates that the maintenance of the ordered structure of carbon template is very significant for obtaining high quality replicas via the nanocasting route.
