Highly ordered mesoporous CMI-n materials and hierarchically structured meso-macroporous compositions

The present review outlines the research work realized during last the 10 years in our laboratory in the field of the conception of new nanostructured porous materials, from mesoporous silicas and metal oxides to hierarchical meso-macroporous compounds with various compositions (single and binary metal oxides and aluminosilicates, aluminophosphates and silicoaluminophosphates). An accent was especially made on the evolution in the development of new synthesis strategies for the introduction of a hierarchy in one solid body with and without surfactant molecules.
