Abstract

Abstract Mesoporous TiO 2 (meso-TiO 2) with sharp pore size distribution was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The obtained meso-TiO 2 is in pure anatase phase and presents spheric aggregates with diameter of 1.0–1.5 μm, which consists of nanoparticles with size of 6–10 nm. Au supported on meso-TiO 2 (Au/meso-TiO 2) was prepared by urea deposition– precipitation method using HAuCl 4 as gold source. The catalyst was characterized by X- ...
