Zusammenfassung
Macroporous titania gels have been prepared by the sol-gel method
starting from aqueous colloidal dispersion of titania. The use of
titania sol instead of highly reactive titanium alkoxide allows us
to control the rate of gelation. Macroporous morphology is formed
when the transitional structure of phase separation is fixed as permanent
structures by the sol-gel transition. The domain size can be controlled
reproducibly by changing the starting composition. The crystal structure
of the titania gel is transformed from anatase to rutile through
the heat treatment at 900degreesC, while the macroporous morphology
remains unchanged.
