aSBET is the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area. bSmicro is the t-plot-specific micropore surface area calculated from the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. bSmeso is the specific mesopore surface area estimated by subtracting Smicro from SBET. cPore size distribution is obtained by DFT method. dVt is the total specific pore volume determined by the adsorption branch of the N2 isothermat P/P0 = 0.99. eVmicro is the t-plot-specific micropore volume calculated from the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. fVmeso is the specific micropore volume calculated by subtracting Vmicro from Vt. gCalculated by the Scherrer equation in the XRD profiles. hMetal content was determined through ICP-OES analysis.
