Title: Aluminum hydroxide-mediated synthesis of mesoporous metal oxides by a mechanochemical nanocasting strategy

Abstract

Mesoporous metal oxides (MOs) have attracted significant interest in heterogeneous catalysis due to their wide pore size distribution and high pore volume. In this work, we present a facile mechanochemical nanocasting strategy using aluminum hydroxide as the mesoporous structure-directing agent, which overcomes the drawbacks associated with wet template-assisted methods. In this procedure, by simply grinding a mixture of commercial aluminum hydroxide and MO precursors, a series of mesoporous MOs with high specific surface areas and narrow pore size distributions have been constructed in a short time (e.g., Fe2O3, 280 m2 g–1; Co3O4, 155 m2 g–1; CeO2, 192 m2 g–1; ZrO2, 170 m2 g–1; CuOx–CeOy, 177 m2 g–1; FeOx–CeOy, 170 m2 g–1; CoOx–CuOy–CeOz, 154 m2 g–1; CoOx–FeOy–CeOz, 133 m2 g–1). It is expected that this strategy may open up new opportunities for fabricating a number of advanced porous materials with abundant porosity in the near future.
