macropores have a diameter > 50 nm

The synthesis of SBA-15 is called sol-gel synthesis

SBA-15 is a mesoporous silica (SiO2) which has cylindrical pores arranged in a hexagonal order
synthesized with the Pluronic triblock-copolymer P123. For this material, the pore size refers to the
width of the cylindrical pores which can be tuned between 4-26 nm even though pore sizes above 12
nm are rare. The length of the pores varies from ~200 nm to several microns

By mixing TEOS with sodium metasilicate in a buffer solution the pore size could be tuned from 10 to 16
nm with increasing TEOS/sodium metasilicate molar ratio

the pore size increases with increasing hydrothermal treatment time and/or temperature.
Hence, for a given HCl concentration, the pore size could be varied between 11 and 17 nm.

A smaller variation in pore size is also observed by increasing the HCl concentration.

Precipitated silica is a silica (SiO2) produced by precipitation from a solution containing

silicate salts

Primary particles with a diameter of 5 - 100 nm, and specific surface area 5-100
m2/g. Agglomerate size is 1 - 40 m with average pore size is > 30 nm. Density: 1.9 - 2.1 g/cm3.
