Here, a facile and rapid ultrasound-mediated synthesis at ambient conditions is proposed for production of novel spherical mesoporous silica submicron particles (MSP) with high specific surface area (SSA) and high worm-like mesoporosity. A one-pot synthesis was designed to involve soft-templating with cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), application of high-power ultrasound (Us) for hydrolysis/condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in methanol/NH4OH solution and vigorous magnetic stirring. Spherical MSP with worm-like mesoporous structure were produced with average particle diameter similar to 545 nm, SSA ca. 1544m(2)/g, total pore volume as high as 0.75 cm(3)/g and NLDFT pore diameter of 2.94 nm. The developed MSP hold great promise for applications e.g. H-2 storage, CO2 capture, removal of Hg from gas as well as drug delivery. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
