Abstract

For many advanced applications, high thermal stability above 400 °C remains as a challenge for the ordered mesoporous titania films. In this work, we attempt to increase the thermal stability of mesoporous structure in titania film crystallization via PS-b-PEO block copolymer templating route. This paper reports the highly crystallized mesoporous titania film on silicon substrate thermally stable at 600 °C. The photocatalytic activity of the titania mesoporous film was also shown to be twice of that templated by F127 for degradation of methylene blue (MB). The present results also indicate that at low crystallinity, photocatalytic activity is controlled primarily by crystal perfection rather that surface area.
