Mesoporous silica with Ia3d structure has been successfully prepared utilizing a triblock copolymer (EO20PO70EO20)−acetate mixture for structure direction in aqueous solution over a wide pH range, even above the isoelectric point of silica, where the pH value could be finely tuned by varying the concentration of HCl and/or acetate. Characterization by XRD, TEM, and N2 sorption measurements show that the cubic Ia3d materials possess high surface areas (about 900 m2/g), large pore volumes (about 1.2 cm3/g), and uniform pore diameters (about 9.2 nm). Further, the phase diagram in the SiO2−P123−ZnAc2−H2O−HCl system is drawn to map the range of cubic mesophase. Salt effect has been investigated during the phase transformation process, which reveals that the nature and concentration of cations can also determine the mesostructure. In addition, when two different acetates are introduced into the solution at one time, metal oxides-modified cubic mesoporous silica can be directly synthesized. Among others, copper-...
