We evaluate the influence of the use of different titania precursors, calcination rate, and ligand addition on the morphology, texture and phase content of synthesized mesoporous titania samples, parameters which, in turn, can play a key role in titania photocatalytic performances. The powders, obtained through the evaporation-induced self-assembly method, are characterized by means of ex situ ...

Clinical long-term osteointegration of titanium-based biomedical devices is the main goal for both dental and orthopedical implants. Both the surface morphology and the possible functionalization of the implant surface are important points. In the last decade, following the success of nanostructured anodic porous alumina, anodic porous titania has also attracted the interest of academic researc...

The grafting of titania on SBA-15 followed by its phosphation was presented to prepare a mesoporous Lewis–Brønsted bifunctional solid acid catalyst for the tandem conversion glucose via fructose 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Titania dispersed as an amorphous surface layer containing abundant coordinatively unsaturated tetrahedral Ti ions, which reactive and readily transformed upon into new ti...

Without any...

The emergence of the field of photonic crystals has led to a surge of research on the fabrication of macroporous materials. Calculations show that a complete optical photonic bandgap may be observed if such materials have a sufficiently high index of refraction and contain ordered pores with periodicity on the order of the wavelength of visible light. With a complete gap there is a range of fre...

Porosity reduction, packing, pore-size distribution, and anatase to rutile phase transformation behavior of nanostructured titania ceramics prepared from both peptized and unpeptized sols were studied and compared using XRD, DSC, and nitrogen-gas physisorption techniques. Precursor gels prepared from the peptized sol had a green density of about 70% after drying at 4 0 T , whereas the samples p...

A mild procedure for the reduction of electron-deficient alkenes and carbonyl compounds is described. UVA irradiations of substituted maleimides with dispersions of titania (Aeroxide P25) in methanol/acetonitrile (1:9) solvent under dry anoxic conditions led to hydrogenation and production of the corresponding succinimides. Aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes were reduced to primary alcohols ...

Synthesis--particularly by electrochemical anodization-, growth mechanism and chemical sensing properties of pure, doped and mixed titania tubular arrays are reviewed. The first part deals on how anodization parameters affect the size, shape and morphology of titania nanotubes. In the second part fabrication of sensing devices based on titania nanotubes is presented, together with their most no...

Correction for 'Mesoporous titania thin films as efficient enzyme carriers for paraoxon determination/detoxification: effects of enzyme binding and pore hierarchy on the biocatalyst activity and reusability' by N. Frančičet al., Analyst, 2014, 139, 3127-3136.

A new model of Li intercalation into rutile and anatase structured titania has been developed from first principles calculations. The model includes both thermodynamic and kinetic effects and explains the observed differences in intercalation behavior and their temperature dependence. The important role of strong local deformations of the lattice and elastic screening of interlithium interactio...
