Abstract

•Plugged SBA-15 samples with different pore sizes and degrees of plugging were prepared.•Different Ag structures were obtained inside pores, depending on the silica structure.•Ag nanostructures allowed visualization and quantification of the nanocavity dimensions.•Spatial distribution of the plugs in the pores assessed using silver structures.

Silver nanostructures inside the pores of SBA-15 and plugged SBA-15 were synthesized and imaged, providing for the first time quantitative information about the nanocavity dimensions and plug distributions in plugged SBA-15.
