[Display omitted]
► A brief overview of various pathways for the synthesis of mesoporous TiO2 is presented. ► Morphology control, doping and crystallization of mesoporous TiO2 are summarized. ► Advantages of mesoporous TiO2 for photocatalysis, solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, sensors and catalyst supports applications are demonstrated.
Titania is one kind of important materials, which has been extensively investigated because of its unique electronic and optical properties. A large number of efforts have been made to synthesize mesoporous TiO2 materials with high surface area and uniform pore size, as well as apply them in many fields. In this review paper, we focus on the ordered mesoporous TiO2 materials. We summarize the synthesis pathways, morphology, doping, as well as crystallization of the mesoporous TiO2 in synthesis section. And we introduce the applications in photocatalysis, solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, sensors and catalyst supports. Besides, we also mention several nanostructured TiO2 materials.
