Submillimeter-thick films of mesoporous silica were synthesized by the solvent evaporation method using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as the silica source and the templating agent, respectively. The effects of HCl/TEOS and CTAC/TEOS molar ratios were investigated. It was revealed that a high CTAC concentration and a low gelation rate at a low HCl concentration were favorable for the formation of highly ordered mesostructures, since the mesostructure is governed by the concentration of CTAC at gelation of the solution. The pore diameter increased as the CTAC/TEOS ratio decreased, suggesting the intermediation between a silica wall and a CTAC micelle by a water layer whose thickness increases with the increase in the H2O/CTAC ratio.
