Novel and facile synthesis of transparent-monolithic TiO2 gels by sol-gel method based on an esterification reaction
Transparent TiO2 monoliths were obtained through a modified sol-gel route from titanium isopropoxide as a precursor. By controlling the hydrolysis of this precursor through the intermediate of esterification reaction between acetic acid and isopropanol at 40 °C, transparent TiO2 xerogel monoliths we...
