Abstract

The mesoporous TiO2 particles was conveniently prepared in a room temperature ionic liquid (RTILs) of 1, 3-di-(3-propionyloxy) imdazolium tetrafluoroborate [DiprCOOBF4 system. The obtained materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N2 adsorptiondesorption analysis. XRD patterns revealed that only rutile phase is formed in the RTILs. The TEM micrographs as well as N2 adsorptiondesorption measurements show that the prepared products exhibited wormlike pore structures. The FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra) demonstrate the carboxylate groups attach via bidentate or bridging coordination to the TiO2 surface.
