Macroporous TiO₂ with aligned channels was synthesized using citric acid as a chelator. The wall of the macropore was composed of nanosized anatase crystals. The degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) was used as a model reaction to test the photocatalytic activity of the samples. Compared with ground TiO₂ powder, macroporous TiO₂ with aligned channels did not give a better photocatalytic RhB degradation property. Because of the scattering of UV-light by anatase nanoparticles, the TiO₂ located inside the macroporous wall was not irradiated by UV-light, and this affected the photocatalytic property of the macroporous TiO₂. The photocatalytic property improved upon exposing more of the external TiO₂ surface to UV light. Furthermore, uniform and dispersed micrometer sized TiO₂ spheres were fabricated using cetyltriethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) as templates. The photocatalytic degradation of RhB confirmed that reducing the particle size improved the efficiency of the photocatalytic activity.
