Abstract
The current research article is concerned with the production and characterization of undoped KIT-6 and Terbium doped KIT-6 nanoparticles. Hydrothermal production of ordered mesoporous Tb doped KIT-6 nanostructures was achieved which were further characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Infrared Transform (FTIR), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The results drawn indicate that Tb doped KIT-6 has an ordered mesoporous composites material composed of Tb nanostructures and the amorphous KIT-6 template.
