Abstract
AbstractMesoporous materials have become indispensable in every aspect of materials science due to their applications in various fields such as catalysis, adsorption, sensing, pharmaceutics and electrochemistry. The higher selectivity in performance highlights the ordered mesoporous materials (OMMs) as the most intriguing and continuously flourishing materials. The versatility in tuning the key properties of OMMs including pore size, pore volume, pore symmetry, surface area and stability by suitable synthetic strategies and conditions underlines the significance of synthetic methods. Since 1990s, the synthesis of OMMs has been a hot topic in materials science, and so far, the different methods have been attempted for preparing various OMMs. This chapter aims to cover all the possible synthetic methods and their key parameters for preparing various OMMs. The properties of mesoporous materials are discussed at the outset.KeywordsOrdered mesoporous materialsSurfactantMicelleHard templateMetal-organic framework
