Rare earth stabilization of mesoporous alumina molecular sieves assembled through an N○I○ pathway

Abstract

The incorporation of 1.0–5.0 mol% Ce³⁺ or La³⁺ ions in MSU-X alumina molecular sieves, prepared through an N^○I^○ assembly pathway, dramatically improves their thermal stability without altering the mesopore size or the wormhole channel motif.
