Research Abstract |
TiO2-SBA-15 and TiO2-SBA-15-AuNP nanocomposites were synthesized by sol-gel method and microstructural characterizations of them were carried out by combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy and computed tomography. It has been proposed that there would be some correlation between the location of Au nanoparticles and TiO2, due to the strong interaction between the AuNPs and TiO2. The location of TiO2 and Au were clearly visualized in three-dimension by the combination of energy-filtering TEM and computed tomography revealed.
