Abstract EN

We report a bulky macroporous TiO2 particles with cellular structure prepared in the presence of wood slices as template.

Firstly, TiO2 sol was coated onto the wood slices by repeated dip-coating process.

Then, after calcinations at 550°C, the wood template could be removed, and the bulky TiO2 structure was obtained.

The prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques.

XRD pattern confirmed the crystalline phase of the wood-templated TiO2 is anatase phase.

And interestingly, from the observation of SEM image, the wood-templated TiO2 inherited the initial cellular structures of birch lumber (B.

albosinensis Burk), and numerous macropores were observed in the sample.

Meanwhile, the wood-templated TiO2 presented a superior photocatalytic ability to decompose Rhodamine B (RhB) under ultraviolet irradiation.
