The invention belongs to the technical field of advanced porous materials, and particularly relates to mesoporous P25
titanium dioxide microspheres and a preparation method thereof. By a
solvent evaporation-induced self-
assembly method, a commercial amphiphilic triblock
copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO is used as a templating agent, organic
titanium is used as a
titanium source, inorganic acid is used as a
titanium dioxide skeleton
crystal modifier, a
rutile-
anatase coexistent skeleton with uniform
spherical morphology and divergent mesoporous channels is formed during
solvent evaporation, and after the templating agent is removed by
roasting, the mesoporous P25
titanium dioxide microspheres are obtained. The mesoporous P25
titanium dioxide microspheres have a large specific surface area and
large pore volume; in the skeleton,
rutile and
anatase are closely packed and the ratio is adjustable, so that the separation efficiency of photogenerated charges and photogenerated holes of a material is significantly improved, and thus the
photoelectric conversion efficiency and the efficiency of a reaction for producing
hydrogen through photocatalytic water
decomposition are greatly improved. The preparation method is simple, a
wet preparation process is adopted, raw materials are easy to obtain, and the preparation method is suitable for large-scale production and has a wide application prospect in the fields of environment,
energy resources and
catalysis and many other fields.
