The effect of synthesis duration from 2 to 10 days has been investigated on the physicochemical properties of mesoporous molecular sieve. Samples were characterized by low angle XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption and HRTEM analysis. XRD patterns of the as-synthesized samples showed four well-defined diffraction peaks corresponding to 100, 110, 200 and 210 planes. These peaks are the fingerprint characteristics of MCM-41 mesoporous material. The high intensity diffraction peaks were observed in 8-days sample that define the high ordering of the pores and long range order. N2 adsorption-desorption results showed that all samples possessed a type IV isotherm having hysteresis loop of type H1 which is an identification of mesoporous material. Calcined samples exhibited high surface area i.e., 984-1036 m2 g-1, pore volume i.e., 1.00-1.13 cm 3 g-1 and average pore diameter i.e., 3.04-3.30 nm. A hexagonal pore structure was found in the synthesized materials by HRTEM analysis, which confirms that the synthesized materials are MCM-41. HRTEM analysis showed the effect of synthesis duration on the materials and found that 8-days sample exhibited highly ordered hexagonal pore structure like honeycomb structure. All the samples were calcined at 550°C to remove the template and to study the changes in the mesoporous framework. The results showed that the mesoporous structure remained intact after calcination at 550°C, indicating that the mesoporous materials exhibit high thermal stability. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications. date: 2012 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84860789176&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fDDF.326-328.647&partnerID=40&md5=dd98a7b2e59bddf7b424140b608b20ae id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/DDF.326-328.647 full_text_status: none publication: Defect and Diffusion Forum volume: 326-32 place_of_pub: Algarve pagerange: 647-653 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037854006 issn: 10120386 citation: Ramli, A. and Ahmed, S. and Yusup, S.
