Herein a rapid fabrication method of inverse opal (IO) TiO2 is presented. By using doctorblade technique, an ordered IO TiO2 can be obtained from a slurry of monodispersed polystyrene (PS) colloids and titanium precursor, followed by calcination of PS spheres. This method saves a lot of valuable tim...
