Shaped mesoporous materials from fresh macroalgae†
Abstract
Reproducible highly mesoporous monolithic materials (0.5–0.7 cm3 g−1, 9–15 nm) are prepared from a variety of fresh shaped abundant macroalgae using a simple green approach without the necessity for supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) drying. This opens up the possibility for low cost and sustainable structured materials for
