Popis: | Hard template-based fabrication of mesoporous carbon unavoidably goes through the removal process of the template to generate template-free carbon replica, including troublesome disposal of template waste often accompanied by toxic etchant, which not only increases the fabrication cost of materials but also raises serious environmental concerns. As a novel strategy to overcome such problem, a direct in situ synthesis approach using silica waste in carbon/silica nanocomposite as a silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a porogen under basic condition is reported in this study for the generation of a new composite composed of mesoporous MCM-41 silica and hollow carbon capsule. The resultant MCM-41/carbon capsule composite offers a 3-D interconnected multimodal pore system, which discloses a wide pore range of ordered uniform mesopores (ca 2.3 nm) resulting from MCM-41 silica and disordered uniform mesopores (ca 3.8 nm) and macropores (ca 300 nm) from hollow mesoporous carbon, respectively.
