3D Bio-hierarchical TiO2 porous structures are successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot reaction.
The structure and properties were investigated by XRD, SEM, XPS, BET, TEM, and UV–vis.
N-La-morph-TiO2 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity among all these synthesized samples.
Relatively high TOC removal for MO by N-La-morph-TiO2.
The possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed by the schematic diagram of the band structure.
