Synthesis and characterization of a novel titanium aluminophosphate hollow nanosphere

A novel titanium aluminophosphate hollow nanosphere is synthesized and characterized for the first time. Characterization by various physicochemical techniques shows that the hollow nanosphere is a potential catalyst and applicable to various Industrial reactions. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the Initial peaks are in microporous materials region. The hollow size is 20 nm with 10 nm thickness shell. Use of titanium butoxide in aluminophosphate synthesis plays a crucial role on hollow sphere formation.
