MCM-41 silica particles with several morphologies have been controllably synthesized with a basic medium. Nanospherical MCM-41 silica with an average size of 110 nm was produced through reaction of extremely low surfactant concentrations of CTAB with TEOS in the sodium hydroxide medium at 353 K, while a submicrometer-sized silica rod, 0.3-0.6 mum in diameter and 1 mum in length, and micrometer-sized oblate silica with nominal diameter around 1 mum were synthesized in aqueous ammonia, where the size and the morphology were controlled by varing the content of the solvent. A morphogenetic mechanism that is based on the deposition of self-assembled silicate surfactant rodlike micelles is proposed and explains well the controllability of the morphology.
