• Generally, for synthesizing high quality ordered mesoporous materials, the high reactivity of titania precursor during hydrolysis leads to uncontrolled phase separation between surfactant template and precursor, therefore normally results in disordered framework.
• Further, preparation of these materials encounters collapse of ordered mesoporous framework upon removal of the surfactant on calcination.

The present invention discloses semiconductor material that includes preparation of Well-ordered Mesoporous Titania (TMF-108) with Anatase and Titania-B (TiO2(B)) mixed phases.

METHOD:

• Dissolving 0.274 mmol (4 g) F-108 triblock copolymer in 0.684 mol (40 mL) ethanol and stirring for 2 hours to obtain a homogenous solution
• Adding drops of 0.115 mol (16 mL) TiCl4 (1 M in methylene chloride) under uniform stirring for 2 hours to obtain a clear solution(Molar ratio of TiCl4/F108/Ethanol =1:0.0023:5.94)
• Pouring the resultant onto petri dish with uniform thickness and solvent is evaporated in an oven (40°C for , 7 days) where inorganic precursor hydrolyses and polymerized into a metal oxide framework
• Calcining the resultant at 360°C for 4 h in air at 0.5°C/min to remove the surfactant and obtain well-ordered mesoporous TiO2 (TMF-108)
