Mesoporous materials: tunable structure, morphology and composition

Key Points

• To summarize recent developments in the design, synthesis, and assembly of mesoporous materials across varied compositions, morphologies, and length scales.
• Reviewed synthetic strategies for assembling building blocks into mesoporous architectures across inorganic, hybrid, and organic frameworks.
• Evaluated techniques for controlling pore structures, modifying surface chemistry, and integrating materials into functional matrices.
• Advances in molecular building block design have enabled precise control over pore dimensions, morphology, and framework chemistry.
• Integration of mesoporous structures with supporting matrices has emerged as a key factor in translating these materials into practical applications.
