Stability and textural properties of cobalt incorporated MCM-48 mesoporous molecular sieve

▶ Co-incorporated MCM-48 obtained via hydrothermal method possesses the Ia3d cubic mesoporous framework. ▶ The thermal and hydrothermal treatment results indicate that the resulting mesoporous materials have highly thermal and hydrothermal stabilities. ▶ With the increase in cobalt content, the specific surface area of the sample gradually decreased and the mesoporous ordering gradually deteriorated.
