Abstract

Highly porous carbon-doped anatase was produced by a simple and time-saving method. The product was prepared by using sea wool sponges and a titanium-contained organic solution. The intermediate product was pyrolyzed sponges coated with amorphous anatase. When further annealed, the final product was an entirely carbon – anatase product with the original structure of sea wool sponges. The struts in the carbon – anatase product were hollow with wall thickness less than 300 nm. Cathodoluminescence measurement showed that this C-TiO2 product was sensitive to visible light.
