Abstract

Mesoporous TiO2 with a high specific surface area was prepared from titanium sulfate solution in a simple sol–gel route, where formamide was used as pH adjusting agent. TiO2 had a high resistance to phase transformation, and maintained monophasic anatase after calcinating at 600 °C. The highest specific surface area achieved on the prepared samples is 231.90 m2 g−1 after calcinating at 450 °C.
