Figure 7

TEM images for KIT-6. (a) Image of the pore structure in K-AP with DDP inset obtained from the area indicated by the dashed box. Miller indices are given. (b) Image showing the pore structure in K-AP. The variation of contrast along the line in the image is given in (i) where pore spacing (arrows) and wall thickness (dashed lines) are indicated. (c) Image of the pore structure in K-900 with DDP inset obtained from the area indicated by the dashed box. The Miller index of the visible spots is given. (d) Image showing the pore structure of K-900. The variation of contrast along the line in the image is given in (ii) where pore spacing (arrows) and wall thickness (dashed lines) are indicated. (e) Image of K-900 showing the nonporous, amorphous silica prevalent within the sample.
