Abstract

Ordered mesoporous titania with crystalline anatase walls has been synthesized through fast evaporation-induced self-assembly method in a non-aqueous solution that only needs a 30 h synthetic period. The ordered mesostructure and crystalline anatase frameworks are characterized by the low-angle and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ordered titania mesostructure is thermally stable to 733 K, and the corresponding N2 adsorption-desorption analysis exhibits that it has a surface area of 246 m2/g and a narrow pore distribution centered at 3.7 nm. Crystalline mesoporous titania exhibits the higher catalytic performance in photooxiding α-methylstyrene to acetophenone.
