A facile template route to periodic mesoporous organosilicas nanospheres with tubular structure by using compressed CO₂.

ABSTRACT: Periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) nanospheres with tubular structure were prepared with compressed CO₂ using cationic and anionic mixed surfactant (CTAB/SDS) and triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as bi-templates. TEM, N₂ adsorption-desorption, solid NMR, and FTIR were employed to characterize the obtained materials. Compressed CO₂ severed as acidic reagent to promote the hydrolysis of organosilicas, and could tune the morphology and structure of the obtained PMOs nanomaterials simple by adjusting the CO₂ pressure during the synthesis process. Rhodamine B (RB) and Ibuprofen (IBU), as the model dye and drug, were loaded into the prepared nanomaterials to reveal its adsorption and desorption ability. Furthermore, different molars of the surfac
