One-pot surfactant assisted synthesis of aluminosilicate macrochannels with tunable micro- or mesoporous wall structure

A one-step surfactant assisted synthesis pathway was developed leading to novel hierarchical macro–meso- (or micro-)porous aluminosilicates made of an assembly of macrochannels with openings between 0.5 and 2.0 (MU)m and wormhole-like amorphous walls with tunable pore sizes
