Two-dimensional crystals of mesoporous silica SBA-15 nanosheets with perpendicular and open channels

A preparation of mesoporous silica SBA-15 thin sheets with perpendicular nanochannels (SBA(⊥)) and open ends is reported here. At a synthesis condition of pH = 2 where the silica condensation is extremely slow, micron-sized single-crystal-like hexagonally faceted nanosheets (SBA(⊥)-pH2) with aspect...
