•Highly porous titanium dioxide microspheres was synthesized.•Cellulose nanofibrils based aerogel microspheres are good template.•The modified porous TiO2 microspheres showed a super-hydrophobic property.
Highly porous titanium dioxide microspheres had been prepared via a template-assisted sol–gel process with cellulose nanofibril aerogel microsphere template. The modified porous titanium dioxide microspheres showed a typical super-hydrophobic property. The method reported in this study may be applied to fabricate other inorganic materials with desired porous structure.
