Ordered mesoporous silica materials such as COK-12, analogous to the well-known SBA-15, are characterized by high surface areas and unique features such as defined pore sizes in the meso-size range and high pore ordering.
The aim of this work was to prove the washing step and choice of calcination and aging temperature during the COK-12 synthesis as effective tools in tailoring, markedly improving the specific surface area, pore size, and pore volume. By controlling the aging temperature, the pore size was linearly adjusted between 5.7 and 8.1 nm, while preserving the hexagonal ordering of the pores. The synthesized COK-12 powders possess pore volumes and specific surface areas up to 1.23 cm3 g−1 and 860m2 g−1, respectively, which is markedly higher than what has previously been reported about COK-12. The presented results and the environmentally friendly character of the synthesis will make COK-12 more interesting for future adaption to the industrial processes, for example in catalysis, adsorption, or drug delivery.
Eleventh canSAS Meeting: International Cooperation and Collaboration in Small-Angle Scattering
(2019)
The eleventh canSAS workshop was held in Freising, Germany, July 8–10, 2019.
These international meetings, promoting collective action for nomadic small-angle scatterers, have been taking place since 1998 and act as forums to catalyze cooperation amongst the SAS community in order to provide better facilities and equipment, combined with reliable data interpretation and analysis. The meeting attracted over 60 participants from major neutron and X-ray laboratories, as well as manufacturers of SAXS equipment, and users from academia and industry. There was also a wide geographical spread with participants from Australia, Asia, and North America joining European colleagues.
