Abstract
Ordered mesoporous materials can be synthesized with various different pore sizes, structures and framework compositions. Many different synthesis procedures have been developed and a high degree of control over the properties of the resulting materials has been achieved. The remarkably high surface areas of such materials and the narrow pore size distribution make these materials highly suitable for applications in catalysis. Without further modification, ordered mesoporous materials can be used as acid catalysts and as supports. In framework modified form, for instance with titanium, applications in redox catalysis have been described. In addition, many different catalytically active species can be supported, such as noble metals, base metal oxides, and molecular species. This chapter will cover the basics of the synthesis and characterization of such materials and review the state of the art with respect to catalytic applications.
