Abstract
Mesoporous anatase-type ZrO2-doped TiO2 nanocrystals have been prepared via a surfactant-assisted templating method (SATM). The ZrO2-doped TiO2 nanocrystals had high phase stability and maintained anatase structure even calcining at 800 °C for 4 h. The ZrO2 dopants present in this system showed inhibitory effect not only to the phase transformation from anatase to ruitle phase, but also to the crystallite growth of TiO2.
