Figure 7. Synthetic strategy and characterization of the SD-structured titania scaffold. (A) The SD-structured titania scaffold was synthesized under dual thermodynamic and kinetic control; by controlling the number of nucleation sites, either DD or SD structures can be formed; (B) SAXS patterns of the as-synthesized and calcined samples; (C and D) Low- and high-magnification SEM images of the calcined SD taken from the {111} plane; (E) TEM image along the [110] direction and the corresponding Fourier diffractogram; (F) The stick model superimposed on the reconstructed volume shows the diamond network with four-fold connectivity.
