Abstract

Mesoporous sulfated zirconia nanoparticles have been synthesized by employing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a template and a sulfating agent via one-step route, and the aforementioned materials were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, FT-IR, TEM as well as EDS. It was found that the SO42- anion, originated the hydrophilic head of template SDS, can be directly incorporated into zirconia to form superacid, and the corresponding formation mechanism was illustrated.
