Abstract
The recent progress in the supramolecular-templating synthesis of ordered mesoporous silica has been reviewed. The discussion is focused on the control of the internal structure (the mesostructure and the related structural parameters) and exterior morphology of the mesoporous silica templated by both cationic surfactants and poly(ethylene oxide) based block copolymers. The potential development of the research on mesoporous silica is also proposed.
