Abstract

Self-standing transparent submillimeter-thick (∼0.34 mm) mesoporous titania films were prepared using the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) of a triblock copolymer template and titanium tetraethoxide. Performing EISA at low temperature and low humidity improved the transparency and continuity of the films. As synthesized films had a well-defined hexagonal mesostructure and the existence of both amorphous titania and anatase nanocrystallites (2 nm) was confirmed. The films that were calcined at 400°C were composed of anatase nanocrystallites (14–16 nm) and had a BET surface area of 90 m2 g−1 with 13-nm pores. The films were characterized using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, and N2 adsorption–desorption measurements.
