✦ Synopsis


Mesoporous titania and mesoporous silica±titania materials have been successfully synthesized by using organic compound urea as template (or pore-forming agent) via sol±gel reactions of tetrabutyl titanate alone and with tetraethyl orthosilicate, respectively, followed by removing the urea by extraction with water. The pore parameters and morphology were characterized by N 2 adsorption±desorption measurement, powder X-ray diraction and transmission electron microscopy. The pore diameters of synthesized titania, up to 5.5 nm, were larger than those mesoporous titania materials prepared by other nonsurfactant compounds reported previously by us. The pore diameters of silica±titania materials decreased with the increase of Si/Ti ratio from 1/100 to 2/1 under the same template concentration.

This work reports the sol -gel synthesis and characterisation of inorganic/organic mesostructured titania-based layers obtained by the selfassembly of inorganic species and surfactants. Films have been prepared by dip-coating from solutions of prehydrolysed titanium isobutoxide (Ti(i-OC 4 H 9 ) 4 )

Titania-silica composite nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel-hydrothermal and sol-gel routes, respectively, and their physicochemical and photocatalytic properties were compared. The results of XRD, TEM and BET surface areas showed that sol-gelhydrothermal route led to anatase titania-silica comp
