Sol-Gel Derived Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles under Base Catalysis for Uses as Anti-Reflective Coating Layers

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles were synthesized through sol-gel method, employing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor under base-catalyzed condition. The reaction temperature was kept constant at 50→C. The results indicated that the properties of silica nanoparticles could be controlled by altering the calcination temperatures. It has been found that silica nanoparticles synthesized under base-catalyzed and calcined at 600→C are uniform, well-dispersed and spherical-shaped. The anti-reflective behavior and the methylene blue adsorption capacity are optimized when calcined at this temperature.
