Synthesis and characterization of hollow anatase TiO2 spheres and its application in the photodegradation of γ-lindane under ultraviolet light

Hollow anatase titania spheres have been synthesized using hydrothermally–prepared carbon spheres as the template. Here, the combination of hydrothermal process with sol–gel followed by calcination in air was done in order to obtain hollow anatase TiO2 spheres by utilizing fructose and tetrabutyl ti...
