Synthesis of mesoporous titania networks consisting of anatase nanowires by templating of bacterial cellulose membranes.
Mesoporous titania networks consisting of interconnected anatase nanowires have been synthesized by using unique bacterial cellulose membranes as natural biotemplates; the titania networks exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with titania microfiber networks.
