title: Synthesis of mesoporous titania networks consisting of anatase nanowires by templating of bacterial cellulose membranes.
abstract: 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.
