摘要
In this work, a facile and controllable multi-templating approach based on a solo nonionic surfactant P123 and peroxotitanic acid (PTA) was reported for the preparation of bimodal meso-mesoporous titania (BMM-TiO2) with high surface area (150–243 m2 g−1), high pore volume (0.3–0.6 cm3 g−1), large mesopore sizes spanning from 8 to 16 nm (BJH pore size), and high & tunable crystallinity (Anatase or Anatase + Rutile). The BMM-TiO2 was shown to be a homogeneous 'mixture' of two series of wormhole mesostructures with two modes of mesopore sizes that depend on both the contents of P123 and synthetic conditions. The formation of BMM structures was proposed to arise from both the formation of differentiated micellar structures of P123 (dual soft-templating) and their subsequent different mesostructural shrinkages driven by prolonged drying process (i.e., 100 °C for 12 h) in the presence of PTA. The low-temperature crystallization behaviours of PTA, unusual hard-templating effect of P123 and its carbon derivatives (3rd fold templating), large mesopores relative to the surrounding TiO2 crystals are all believed to be responsible for the high thermal stability of the obtained BMM-TiO2. To our knowledge, it is for the first time reported that P123 plays such multiple templating roles (three folds in this work) in the preparation of meso-TiO2, not to mention that P123 was also confirmed to be a prerequisite for the formation bi-crystalline BMM-TiO2. In the photodegradation test of Rhodamine B in water by UV irradiation, other than the high surface area and synergistic effect between anatase and rutile phases, the BMM structures were also found to be advantageous to enhance the photocatalytic properties of mesoporous TiO2.
