By the UV-curing method, a porous TiO2 film with net-like framework has been prepared. The characterization results of the porous TiO2 film by means of SEM, TEM, XRD, and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis show that the net-like framework of the porous TiO2 film is composed of TiO2 nanoparticles, forming three dimensional porous structure. The porous TiO2 film exhibits higher photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue(MB) dye compared with the conventional dense TiO2 film.

1 Introduction Since its first discovery in 1992, ordered mesoporous silica material with large pore size, high surface area, and high pore volume has attracted great attention for the potentially wide application in catalysis, adsorption, separation, and ion exchange, etc. However, the poor hydrothermal stability of mesoporous silica has limited its wide application in industry. Therefore, in the last 10 years, many studies have been dedicated to improving the hydrothermal stability of mesoporous silica. Xiao et al.

Now LiCoO2 is the most widely used electrode material in commercial rechargeable lithium-based batteries; however, the toxicity of cobalt and the scarcity of cobalt sources, as well as the limited charge/discharge capacity(130-140 mA.h.g-1) of LiCoO2 electrode drive many efforts to develop various alternative electrode materials, including diverse transition metal oxides and their lithiated counterparts. Amongst them, iron oxides,
