We report a modified method to synthesize SBA-16 mesostructured silica under refluxing condition using block co-polymer poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (F127) as template, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as co-template, and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source. The physiochemical properties of SBA-16 silica were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The resulting SBA-16 silica exhibited highly ordered mesoporous structure, mono-dispersed spherical morphology, excellent hydrothermal, thermal and mechanical stabilities. It was worth mentioning that the synthesis time can be significantly reduced from 48 h to 8 h, which opened a feasible way to produce SBA-16 silica in a large scale. Moreover, the “super-cage” pore structure of SBA-16 encapsulated gold nanoparticles in a “ship in a bottle” way. The well-confined gold nanoparticles (mean size of 5 nm) with a narrow particle size distribution were highly active in solvent-free benzyl alcohol selective oxidation with molecular oxygen.
