Syntheses and characterization of highly mesoporous crystalline TiO2 macrocellular foams†
Abstract
Titanium dioxide open-cell macro-cellular foams have been generated with emphasis toward controlling macro-, meso- and microstructures thus reaching hierarchically organized inorganic architectures. At the macroscopic length scale a non-static air–liquid foam strategy allows strong control over the open-cell morphologies. At the meso- and/or nanoscopic length scales various mesogenic templates or latex colloids have been used to promote mesoporosity. Among the strategies in use, a
