Tuning the sol-gel transition to control the hierarchical porosity of ceramic materials

Hierarchical porous materials that contain a multilevel structure con-sisting of interconnected pores on different length scales are of con-siderable interest because they are expected to combine the benefits of each pore size family, providing high surface area and facilitating mass transport, which can improve material’s performance in many applications. Among the known synthetic routes, the sol-gel one pro-vides an excellent method for controlling the structural and textural properties of end materials. In this e-seminar, the coupling of the sol-gel transition with the liquid crystal confinement and the spinodal de-composition are presented as strategies for controlling the hierar-chical pore structure of ceramic materials .
