One-pot synthesis of highly crystalline mesoporous TiO_2 nanoparticle assemblies with enhanced photocatalytic activity

摘要

We report an unprecedented formation of mesoporous titania via a surfactant-assisted aggregating assembly of TiO_2 nanoparticles. These mesostructures possess a highly crystalline anatase phase, large and accessible pore surface area, and exhibit superior photocatalytic performance.
