Titania, nanostructures, mesoporous silica nanospheres, and titania/silica nanocomposite can be widely used in many field of applications, such assemiconductor, environment and energy related, absorbent, catalysis, medical implants, and drug delivery.

For titania structures, temperature and time are the important parameter of synthesis by hydrothermal method. Titania nanostructures is investigated at low temperature with short time. As microwave irradiation can give a powerful, reliable, selective rapid reactions for synthesis different materials, the synthesis is also studied with microwave-assisted method. Mesoporous silica nanospheres is explored through a novel biphase stratification approach. Batch and flow synthesis via this method are performed in this study. Adsorption test is...[ Read more ]

For titania structures, temperature and time are the important parameter of synthesis by hydrothermal method. Titania nanostructures is investigated at low temperature with short time. As microwave irradiation can give a powerful, reliable, selective rapid reactions for synthesis different materials, the synthesis is also studied with microwave-assisted method. Mesoporous silica nanospheres is explored through a novel biphase stratification approach. Batch and flow synthesis via this method are performed in this study. Adsorption test is performed to study the adsorption capacity of the materials. Inspired by the biphase stratification approach, titania/silica nanocomposite is investigated by this method. Different template and experiment procedure are used in this research.

Characterization, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, Micro-Raman spectra and maps, nitrogen physisorption, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), are performed to study morphology, chemical structure, phase, distribution and composition of samples’ surface, textural properties and surface/bulk composition and chemistry of the samples.
