Chemical coating of aluminum oxide onto as-synthesized mesoporous silicas
The Al2O3-coated mesoporous silicas with high surface area, different pore sizes, and high acidity can be efficiently obtained from a fast surface modification on the as-synthesized mesoporous silicas with the aluminum isopropoxide in 1-propanol and calcination at 560 degrees C.
