The application belongs to the technical field of
lubricant additives, and particularly relates to
boron-doped silica microspheres with a hierarchical pore structure, a preparation method thereof and application. The
boron-doped silica microspheres with a hierarchical pore structure provided by the application have a regular
spherical morphology, good dispersibility, stable structure, and two different size pore structures, including ordered spherical pores and randomly distributed
nanopore structures; the coexistence of the two different size pore structures improves the
oil storage capacity of the modified silica microspheres as
lubricant additives, facilitates the transmission and
diffusion of lubricating oil, and improves the lubricating effect. In the application, an organic complex formed by mixing a surfactant and an
acrylic acid homopolymer is used as a template, a
silicic acid skeleton is formed through the interaction between a
silicon source and the organic template,
boron is introduced into the skeleton through the interaction between the
silicic acid and a boron source, and the synthesis of boron-doped hierarchical
mesoporous silica microspheres is realized through
drying and
calcination.
