✦ Synopsis

Ag-doped mesoporous titanium oxide was prepared using non-ionic surfactants and easily handled titanium precursors, under mild reaction conditions. The structure of these materials was determined as a function of the concentration of the Ag dopant and calcination temperature. In contrast to the stabilizing effect of Cd-doping on mesoporous TiO 2 , Ag doping was found to significantly destabilize the mesoporous structure.
