Well-ordered mesoporous silica has been successfully prepared using cationic quaternary ammonium surfactants (M41S family),[1] nonionic surfactants (SBA family),[2] and anionic surfactants.[3] As a result of their attractive properties, that is, large surface areas and uniform pore sizes, numerous versatile applications of mesoporous silica have been reported in catalysis, bioabsorption, drug delivery, and nanoreactors.[4] It is generally accepted that the formation of wellordered mesoporous silica involves both charge matching and cooperative assembly of surfactant micelles and silicate into 3D lattice structures such as hexagonal, cubic, or lamellar.[5] Biological particles are also good templates for the formation of silica.[6] Moreover, nature has designed filamentous viruses such as M13 and fd bacteriophage that are morphologically similar to rodlike micelles yet possess a greater monodispersity than surfactant micelles. In addition, they readily form a lyotropic liquid-crystalline (LC) phase through self-assembly. As an example, the semiflexible rodlike bacteriophages (fd or M13) used in this study are bacteria-specific viruses (about 880 nm long and about 7 nm wide) that can be pictured as an ordered assembly of coat proteins along circular ssDNA (see Figure S1 in the Supporting Information). They have high aspect ratios and are capable of self-assembling into LC structures.[7] Such a high degree of monodispersity and anisotropy of bacteriophage, however, has never been successfully employed in synthesizing mesoporous silica with ordered pore lattices. Here, we report the preparation of well-ordered mesoporous silica fibers with hexagonally arranged pores (termed OU-880) by use of filamentous bacteriophages as templates. In addition, we discuss the successful use of the resultant mesoporous silica as a means for fabricating 3D arrays of PbS nanoparticles. Nature creates incredibly sophisticated mineral structures through the self-assembly of specific proteins that direct biomineralization at ambient conditions.[8] As one of the most prominent examples, diatoms form fine micro-/nanostructured silica walls under the direction of assembled siliffins.[9] Therefore, we also explore the ability of bacteriophages to control the nanostructures of silica by controlling their self-assembly behavior.Since foreign peptides can be genetically fused to the coat proteins of bacteriophage to produce highly decorated viruses,[10] and the assembly behavior of bacteriophage is strongly affected by its surface charge properties, bacteriophage presents itself as an excellent candidate template for controlling resulting silica nanostructures.[11] By displaying peptides with different charges on the side wall of filamentous bacteriophage, we demonstrate the successful controlling of silica nanostructures through control of the bacteriophage surface charge density and the concomitant bacteriophage assembly behavior.
