The channel lengths of mesoporous materials have a crucial impact on the catalytic performances of as-loaded active components. However, it remains a challenge to precisely tune the mesochannel length in a wide range from ≤50 nm to 200 nm. In this paper, we developed a top-down strategy, that is to say, crushing hollow microspheres, for preparing mesoporous silica nanosheets (MSSs) with perpendicular mesochannels and tunable thicknesses. Owing to the heterogeneous growth of the mesoporous silica layer on the surfaces of polystyrene microspheres (hard template), it was achieved to regulate the mesochannel length continuously in the range of 20–200 nm. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of channel lengths on the catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles was then investigated in the selective hydrogenation reaction of nitroarenes. It was found that a short channel not only favored dispersing metal nanoparticles uniformly and then avoiding pore blocking, but also improved the accessibility of metal nanoparticles largely during reactions.

Hybridisation of mesoporous organosilicas (MO) to reinforce the surface capability in adsorption and stabilisation of noble metal nanoparticles is of great attention in generating/supporting noble metal within their matrices and transforming them into efficient heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we used a unique hybrid of organic-inorganic mesoporous silica in which pore profile pattern was similar to the well-known mesoporous silica, SBA-15 for catalysis. This hybrid mesoporous organosilica was further engaged as a support in the synthesis and stabilisation of Pd nanoparticles on its surface, and then, the obtained Pd-supported MO was employed as a heterogeneous green catalyst in the conversion of aqueous p-nitrophenol (PNP) to p-aminophenol (PAP) at room temperature with efficient recyclability.
