Abstract: 12-Tungstophosphoric acid with Keggin structure was introduced onto the Al-inc or porated mesoporous molecular sieves (AlSBA-15) by the incipient wetness method. The materials were characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption, HRTEM, and UV-Vis diff use reflectance to confirm the existence of Keggin and mesopore structure. HRTEM images showed the good dispersity of the species into the mesopore region.
