Titania exhibits unique photophysical and -chemical properties and can be used for potential applications in the field of photocatalysis. The control of TiO2 in terms of phase, shape, morphology, and especially nanoscale synthesis of TiO2 particles still remains a challenge. Ti-containing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), such as MIL-125, can be used as sacrificial precursors to obtain TiO2 materials with diverse phase compositions, morphologies, sizes, and surface areas. MIL-125 is composed of Ti/O clusters as the secondary building units (SBUs) bridged by 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (bdc). In this study, preformed and surfactant-stabilized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were deposited onto the surface of amino functionalized NH2-MIL-125 during solvothermal synthesis. Targeted gold/titania nanocomposites, GNP/TiO2, were fabricated through the pyrolysis of GNP/NH2-MIL-125 nanocrystals. The modification of TiO2 with GNPs significantly increased the photocatalytic activity of the MOF derived TiO2 material for the re...
