Synthesis of Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide

The objective of this research is to synthesize mesoporous Titanium Dioxide using
sol-gel method while investigating the effect of pH and calcinations temperature to
the characteristic of the synthesized mesoporous Titanium Dioxide. Mesoporous
Titanium Dioxide have been tested previously to have photocatalytic activity in
sunlight and promote widespread use in solar technology. A simple sol-gel method
has been conducted to synthesize the mesoporous Titanium Dioxide using apparatus
available in the Reaction Engineering Lab inside UTP campus. The sample is then
analyzed to identify it's characteristics.
