The obtained results indicate that the morphology of Cu-incorporated MCM-41 materials is ＂spheres-within-a-sphere＂ hollow structure, which is very similar to that of the alveolus. In benzene hydroxylation with H2O2, the hollow spheres show much higher catalytic activity than particles of Cu-MCM-41.展开更多
