Abstract:Mesoporous monodisperse microballs of amorphous titania were prepared from solution of absolute ethanol, tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) and potassium chloride via a sub-zero sol–gel route. The as-obtained microballs were used as the precursor in an alcohothermal (ethanol with a small amount of water) process to synthesize monodisperse mesoporous microballs built of decahedral anatase nanocrystals. FE-SEM observation and XRD analysis have confirmed that the formed decahedral anatase-rich powder retained the origina… Show more
