“…These silicas, on comparison with each other, exhibit different porosity, stability, particle size and surface area. Not only porosity and surface area, note that the morphology of silica can also be tuned to different shapes such as spheres, cubes, rods, ellipsoids, nanotubes, fibres, silica sheets and silica leaves . Comparison between the properties (pore structure, stability under different conditions, particle size and morphology) of various silicas (KCC‐1, MCM‐41, SBA‐15 and Stöber silica) can be better understood from the review article of Maity and Polshettiwar.…”
