Abstract:
In this study, we demonstrate a novel method for preparing crystallized mesoporous titania by using a low-temperature synthesis technique in the presence of cationic surfactant. XRD patterns showed that the titania particles obtained had both hexagonal structure and a wall with anatase crystalline structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation and corresponding electron diffraction pattern confirmed that the calcined particles are crystallized mesoporous titania.
