The chemical interaction and confinement effect of molecules in the sol-gel AlPO4 mesoporous glasses

DOI

Owing to the separation in the mesoscale and confinement effect of mesostructured pores to the molecule, mesoporous materials have been widely applied as matrices of host-guest organic-inorganic materials, adsorbents or catalysts. To date, the most developed mesoporous materials concentrated on silica and carbon-based system, as the neutral SiO4 and C skeletons lack the acidic sites which is still the main hurdle for the widespread application of mesoporous materials. We developed a transparent and colourless stoichiometric AlPO4 monolith glass possessing a highly mesoporous structure with chemical activities as a results of alternating AlO4- and PO4- tetrahedra framework. The detailed understanding of the molecules confinement mechanism in M-AP will also lead to better design of phosphate mesoporous materials as luminescent hosts and catalysts.
