Abstract
Pluronics P123 have emerged as a potential agent for solubilizing a variety of metal oxide precursor molecules, but how these solubilizates affect the morphology of material still remains poorly understood. In this review, the morphological transition of TiO2 induced by Pluronic P123 micelles has been comprehensively investigated. The change of TiO2 structure by P123 micelles form micellar clusters are governed by the balance of hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding, which consequently leads to the varying micellar morphologies. The review results are further also show that the intensity of Pluronic-TiO2 interaction increases with the hydrophobicity of the P123, indicating that hydrophobic interaction is more important on the TiO2 morphological transition. Finally, the mechanism of morphological transition induced by various P123 concentration, time, temperature and acidity and discussed for for evaluate the structure formation of of TiO2
