Application of Block‐Copolymer Supramolecular Assembly for the Fabrication of Complex TiO₂ Nanostructures

Porous micellar TiO2 nanostructures are prepared from self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers with oligomeric titanium precursor (see image). This study also shows a strategy to expand the scope of possible TiO2-nanostructure morphologies thorugh control of the stereochemistry of block copolymers or selectivity of solvent. This simple scheme for nanoporous TiO2 can bring new applications with improved performance from in areas such as energy and the environment.
