Transmission electron microscopy investigation indicated that the concentration of the structure-directing agent EO20PO70EO20 had a significant impact on the mesostructure of mesoporous silica nanofibers. Samples with alignment of nanochannels along the axis of mesoporous silica nanofibers could be formed under the P123 concentration of mg mL. When the P123 concentration increased to mg mL samples with a circular lamellar mesostructure could be obtained. The mechanism for the effect of the P123 concentration on the mesostructure of mesoporous silica nanofibres was proposed and discussed.
