Metal-containing mesoporous starches have been synthesized using a simple and
efficient microwave-assisted methodology followed by metal impregnation in the porous
gel network. Final materials exhibited surface areas >60 m2 g−1, being essentially
mesoporous with pore sizes in the 10–15 nm range with some developed inter-particular
mesoporosity. These materials characterized by several techniques including XRD, SEM,
TG/DTA and DRIFTs may find promising catalytic applications due to the presence of
(hydr)oxides in their composition.
