Mesoporous silica network nanotubes were fabricated using both organic and inorganic templates such as citric acid (CA), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and sodium bicarbonate (SBC). The phase analysis of synthesized silica network was confirmed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis, and the present functional groups were revealed by Fourier Transformer Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and the formation of tubular morphology was analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The mesoporous nature of each template sample was studied using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) instrument. The surface area and porous size were calculated successfully for fabricated silica network nanotubes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
