Abstract Mesoporous materials are promising structures for application in catalysis and adsorption due to high surface area and large pore size. Mesoporous materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal method with novel surfactants, distinct from those observed in the literature, in order to carry out a study of its structure and to obtain materials with better textural properties. The structures synthesized with the surfactants Igepal CO630 and Brij O20 presented the best results of specific surface area, 1074 and 1075 m2.g-1, respectively. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, TG/DTG, N2 adsorption-desorption, and FTIR techniques. XRD patterns indicated that the highly ordered mesoporous silica structures, such as MCM-41 and MCM-48, using CTMABr as the structure-directing agent and the SBA-15, SBA-16 and other SBA structures using different block copolymers were obtained. Through N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, it was observed type IV isotherms, attributed to mesoporous materials. The FTIR spectra presented similar behaviors with characteristic vibrational bands of MCM and SBA type materials.
