摘要：

In this work bimodal structured titanium dioxide (TiO2) microsphere has been prepared from commercial TiO2 powder and nano-sized titania gel via sol-gel spray-coating technique. Crystallization and transformation behavior of titania gel were investigated. The results revealed that the crystallization and transformation of anatase particles were substantially affected by the concentration of solvent and calcination temperature. Anatase crystallite size of 10nm was obtained at mole ratio of solvent/precursor 50/1 and calcination temperature of 450 degrees C. The prepared nano-sized titania gel was embedded within the core (commercial TiO2, P25) during the spraying process. The prepared TiO2 microsphere was characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEMI), field emission electron microscope (FESEM) and micropore analysis. The photocatalytic activity was monitored by following the degradation of phenol with activity benchmarked against commercial P25 (Degussa). The increase of photocatalytic activity of TiO2 microsphere was attributed to the nano-sized anatase crystallite which has been incorporated into the TiO2 microsphere. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
