Catalysis of nanocrystalline mesoporous TiO2 on cyclohexene epoxidation with H2O2: Effects of mesoporosity and metal oxide additives

Nanocrystalline mesoporous TiO2 with narrow and monomodal pore size distribution prepared by surfactant-assisted templating sol-gel process of laurylamine hydrochloride/tetraisopropyl orthotitanate modified with acetylacetone system exhibits higher catalytic cyclohexene epoxidation activity than non-mesoporous commercial TiO2 powders.
