Abstract

A transparent titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ )@TiO ₂ film with free-standing structure was synthesised by employing a cellulose paper as the template. By one-step hydrothermal method and subsequent thermal annealing, the fibre of cellulose paper was changed into porous TiO ₂ core layer. The flower-like micro/nanostructure TiO ₂ particle layer was intimately distributed on the porous TiO ₂ core layer. The average diameter of the TiO ₂ @TiO ₂ fibre for the film was 11 µm. The size of spherical granular TiO ₂ on the fibre surface was around 330 ± 130 nm. It was noted that the microtopography of fibre surface could be adjusted by tuning the hydrothermal temperature. The scanning electron microscopy and N ₂ adsorption-desorption measurement results indicated that the prepared film possessed a large mass of mesopores and macropores. On the basis of the special microstructure, the TiO ₂ @TiO ₂ film exhibited high photocatalytic activity for methylene blue under ultraviolet irradiation. This work might provide a new insight for preparation of transparent photocatalytic film toward water purification.
