Synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles derived from rice husk and surface-controlled amine functionalization for efficient adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) were synthesized using rice husk (RH) as the raw material via sol-gel pathway using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the structure directing agent. Silica nanoparticles were successfully functionalized with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) via in-si...
