Control yourself! The mesoporous silica nanofibers (MSNFs) from dual structure‐directing agents were fabricated inside the pores of porous alumina (AAO, see figure) by using vapor phase synthesis. The pore structures could be controlled to form a range of structures from mesocellular foams to cylindrical mesopores with long‐range order by adding cationic cosurfactants.
