Abstract: | By carbothermally reducing a TiO2 core–sucrose shell precursor, titanium carbide mesoporous nanoparticles with a very high specific surface area (147 m2/g at 1500°C) have been prepared. The high specific surface area results from the mesoporous nature of the produced nanoparticles with two types of pores: the one with a pore diameter of about 20 nm and the other with <4 nm. |
