The transparent Ti-containing mesoporous silica thin films can be prepared on quartz plate using a spin-coating sol–gel method. The spectroscopic characterization has revealed that the Ti-containing mesoporous silica thin films contain isolated and tetrahedrally-coordinated titanium oxide moieties in the frameworks. Compared with the common mesoporous silica thin films, these Ti-containing mesoporous silica thin films have demonstrated a strong hydrophilic surface property even before UV-irradiation. After UV-light irradiation, the contact angle of water droplet on the Ti-containing mesoporous silica thin films became lower, indicating the appearance of the super-hydrophilic property. Under UV-light irradiation Ti-containing mesoporous silica thin films also exhibited highly selective activity for the photocatalytic oxidation of propylene. The isolated and tetrahedrally-coordinated titanium oxide moieties are responsible for these photo-induced surface reactions.
