Abstract
Abstract Mono-dispersed mesoporous silica spheres with ordered hexagonal regularity were synthesized from tetramethoxysilane and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide as a surfactant under very specific conditions. By adjusting the optimum concentrations of the reactants, silica particles with diverse morphology were obtained at higher initial concentrations. Dilution of the reactants led to the formation of silica spheres with various sizes and relatively less mesoporous regularity. Mono-dispersed silica spheres could not be obtained when hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide were used as surfactants.
