Abstract

In this chapter, application of porous siliceous materials as platforms for design of TiO2-based photocatalysts is reviewed. Porous siliceous materials with one or both types of pores, i.e., ordered mesopores and hierarchical macropores, were synthesized by applying template strategies. Based on the advantageous porous structure, TiO2-loaded porous silica with hierarchical macroporous and mesoporous architectures exhibited specific characteristics (e.g., an easy transportation of relatively large molecules and unique adsorption properties to condense organic compounds), and enhanced photocatalytic properties in the degradation of organic compounds in water under UV light irradiation.
