Effect of pore size in mesoporous MnO2 prepared by KIT-6 aged at different temperatures on ethanol catalytic oxidation

KIT-6 mesoporous silica aged at different temperatures was used as a hard template to prepare different mesoporous MnO2 catalysts. The catalytic activities for ethanol oxidation of the catalysts were investigated, and the effect of pore size on the ethanol catalytic activity has been discussed.
