Recently, the research team led by Professor Lan Kun from Academician Zhao Dongyuan’s group at the Institute of Energy and Materials Chemistry, Inner Mongolia University, published their latest findings in the prestigious journal Nature Protocols, with a companion paper in Nano Letters. These studies offer valuable methodological insights and application examples for the controllable synthesis and high-performance utilization of mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO₂)-based materials.

Research Overview
Building on their earlier research, the team systematically summarized:
This Nature Protocols article serves as a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for researchers worldwide working on mesostructured metal oxide materials, especially TiO₂, widely used in photocatalysis, energy storage, and sensing.
