Heterostructural transformation of mesoporous silica–titania hybrids

Abstract Mesoporous silica (SBA-15 with the BJH pore size of 8 nm) containing anatase nanoparticles in the pore with two different titania contents (28 and 65 mass%), which were prepared by the infiltration of the amorphous precursor derived from tetraisopropyl orthotitanate into the pore, were heat...
