Ion doping behavior of stöber silica-nanosynthesis and application by Song, Xiaohui

“…Based on the ion pairing mechanism during silica nucleation and deposition we designed many experiments to get novel silica nanostructures (Chapter 3). By tuning the solvent ratio, the ions concentration, and the acid incubation time length we can control the ion doping level inside silica nanoparticles, which will give many different kinds of novel structures, such as hard-soft-hard silica, lower porous silica, and transition metal doped silica. …”
