Effects of Solution Composition on the Physical Property and Photo-catalytic Activity in the Preparation of Mesoporous TiO2 by Esterification
Mesoporous TiO2 was prepared using esterification between triblock copolymer (Pluronic P123) and acetic acid, and was applied to the photocatalytic decompositions of 2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinol (IMP) and cyanide (CN). To increase inorganic-organic interaction which is necessary in synthesis mesoporous material, and hexane. When ethanol was used, a very sharp PSD appeared, but the activity was very low because of its small surface area and pore size which are critical properties in the photocatalytic decompositions of cyanide and IMP, respectively. TiO2 prepared using acetone gave the very high activity in the cyanide decomposition due to the large surface area. Unlikely, hydrophobic hexane caused large pore size resulting in the increase of the activity of IMP decomposition.
