Controllable fabrication of dendritic mesoporous silica–carbon nanospheres for anthracene removal†
Abstract
Dendritic mesoporous silica–carbon nanospheres with a uniform size (∼100 nm), high surface area (646 m2 g−1), large pore volume (1.4 cm3 g−1) and center-radial oriented open mesopore channels (7.3 nm) have been fabricated by combining an oil–water biphase stratification and an in situ carbonization of surfactant template strategy.
