Abstract: At room temperature and in water-ethanol-ethyl ether solution with adding amino-modified solid silica, radially porous silica and the core-shell structure were synthesized using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) as template, tetraethylorthosilicate(TEOS) as silica source and ammonia solution as catalyst. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), small angle X-ray diffraction technique(XRD), Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and the corresponding pore size distribution were used to characterize the samples. Results show that spheres with diameters of ca. 0.4-1 μm are obtained, the hierarchical and radial pores with the size from 3 nm to tens of nanometres are on the sample surface, and the BET surface area of the sample is 996 m2/g. The mechanism of radially porous silica and influential factors of core-shell structure were also discussed.
