Cover Feature: Plasmochemical Approach to Template‐Free Synthesis of Highly Crystalline Mesoporous TiO₂ within Milliseconds (ChemNanoMat 4/2019)

This cover feature shows the millisecond plasmochemical template-free synthesis of highly crystalline mesoporous TiO2, including the synthetic route, reactor, and images of the product (SEM, TEM). The resulting material features mesopores surrounded by a continuous inverse phase of nanoscale semiconductor, which could be interesting for exploring fundamental triple phase boundaries (TPB) for photo- or electrocatalysis. It was prepared by the oxidation of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) aerosol by gliding arc plasma in a vortex air flow.
