Synthesis of hollow anatase nanospheres with excellent adsorption and photocatalytic performances
Abstract
Hollow anatase nanospheres have been synthesized. The silica template makes anatase more stable and its subsequent removal results in the formation of hollow structures, which significantly improves its surface area and active sites. The as-synthesized hollow anatase nanospheres show excellent adsorption and photocatalytic performance to solid anatase nanospheres and P25.
