Preparation and characterization of mesoporous TiO2-Al2O3 composites

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have established conditions for the synthesis of multiphase nanocomposites in a wide range of TiO2/Al2O3 ratios. The nanocomposites have a thermally stable mesoporous structure and large specific surface area. Some of them exhibit photocatalytic activity at λ ≥ 670 nm.
