Abstract
Mesoporous materials are defined in general terms by their pore dimension which falls in the 2–10 nm range (Beck and Vartuli in Curr. Opin. Solid State Mater. Sci. 1:76–87, 1996 [1]; Beck et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 114:10834–10843, 1992 [2]). This porosity is coupled with a very high surface area that could be as large as 1000 m2 g−1.
