Synthesis of biomorphological mesoporous TiO2 templated by mimicking bamboo membrane in supercritical CO2

TiO2 nanocomposite based polymeric membranes: A review on performance improvement for various applications in chemical engineering processes

“…A series of attempt has been carried out to synthesize hierarchically biomorphological materials (HBM) when templates or/and starting materials are chosen from biomass or biomolecules [178,179]. Humidity control is considered as a very important parameter in technologies, industries, and human life.…”

Biotemplated Synthesis of Anatase Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles via Lignocellulosic Waste Material

“…Many studies have investigated the effects of different biotemplates on the synthesis and properties of different metal oxide nanostructures. Gelatin [23, 24], gum [25], starch [22–24, 26], rice straw [27], eggshell membrane [28], bamboo membrane [29], DNA [30], yeast, dandelion pollen, and albumen [28, 29] were all investigated to synthesize metal oxide nanoparticles such as ZnO, TiO 2 , and Ag nanoparticles. Applying rice straw as a soft biotemplate appears to be a promising way to synthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles.…”

Bioinspired Porous Materials

“…A new process for replication of biomorphic structures was developed by Li et al 90 The novelty concerned the transport of inorganic material source to the biotemplate, namely a supercritical CO 2 transportation of titanium tetrabutyloxide was employed. The method was exemplified by mimicking bamboo inner shell membrane.…”
