Abstract: Using EDTANa2 as mineralization agent, mesoporous silicas with wormlike mesopores and thick pore wall(about 3 nm) were facilely synthesized at room temperature and near-neutral pH. The mesoporous silica can be obtained with reactants molar composition range of n(CTAB):n(TEOS):n(EDTANa2):n(H2O)=(0.05—0.2):(0.1—2):(0.1—0.5):(100—500). XRD, N2 sorption, FTIR, SEM and TEM methods were carried out to investigate the topological and morphological properties of the mesoporous silicas. As the amount of CTAB increased, the d spacing value of mesoporous silica increased correspondingly. Temperature has a great effect on the synthesis of mesoporous silica. When temperature increased from 2 ℃ to 20 ℃, morphologies of the mesoporous silica varied from hollow micro-tubes to granule aggregates. Based on the experiments, a modified neutral mechanism of (S+-E-)0-I0 was proposed.
