Titania thin films with hierarchically macro-mesoporous were prepared by the addition of bulky organic molecule(1,3,5-trimethylbezenze) in aqueous solution of F127(EO106PO70EO106). After calcined at 673 K,ordered thin films with cubic meso-structure and macropores were formed. DNA(Cytochrome c) was used as probe to study the adsorption ability of macromolecules on this film. The hierarchically macro-mesoporous films show high adsorption ability of DNA molecules compared with conventional titania films and mesoporous titania films,which is attributed to the presence of macropores.
A copper-TiO2 based catalyst(Cu-OH-Cl-TiO2) was prepared through a slurry impregnation approach and the catalyst was found to be active and selective for the epoxidation of propylene by dioxygen. With a feed gas of 10% C3H6, 10% O2 and 80% N2 at a gas hourly space velocity(GHSV) of 4000 h-1, a propylene conversion of 4.8% and a propylene oxide(PO) selectivity of 38.9% were achieved over the obtained Cu-OH-Cl-TiO2 catalyst at a reaction temperature of 500 K. It revealed that Cu2+ provided by crystalline Cu2(OH)3Cl plays a key role in catalytic conversion of propylene to PO.
