Synthesis of mesostructured TiO2-based material and its functionalization with silver nanoparticles

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We report the results of a template synthesis of a three-dimensional nanostructured material based on titanium(IV) oxide modified with silver nanoparticles. The chemical composition and structure of the material have been determined by scanning electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
