Electrochemical deposition was successfully used to prepare mesoporous silica thin films with highly ordered and vertically oriented pores. Tetraethyl orthosilicate was used as the inorganic silicon source and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide was the template. A negative potential was applied to the working electrode, which was initially immersed in collosol and then in hydroxyl at the electrode/solution interface. Hydroxyl ion served as the catalyst that promoted the polycondensation and self-assembly of the silicon precursor, as well as the formation of thin films with pores which are highly ordered and vertically oriented with respect to the panel.The pore arrangement of the mesoporous film was hexagonal, and its aperture was 2 nm to 3 nm. The verticality of the thin film pore was demonstrated through permeability and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The prepared mesoporous film possessed good optical amorphous antireflective property with ordered and vertically oriented pores.

AbstractWe have synthesized periodic mesoporous silica thin films (PMSTF) from homogeneous solutions. To synthesize the films a thin layer of a pH = 7 micellar coating solution that contains TMOS is dip- or spin-coated onto silicon wafers, borosilicate glass, or quartz substrates. Ammonia gas is diffused into the solution and causes rapid hydrolysis and condensation of the TMOS and the formation of periodic mesoporous thin films within ∼10 seconds. The combination of homogeneous solutions and rapid product formation maximizes the concentration of desired product and provides a controlled, predictable microstructure. The films have been made continuous and crack-free by optimizing initial silica concentration and film thickness.
