We report the synthesis of mesoporous anatase by EISA. This method led to the formation of mesoporous anatase with small nanocrystallite size, high surface area and uniform pore size distribution. The resultant mesophases were used as photocatalysts for the UV-photodegradation of methylene blue, methyl orange, methyl red and rhodamine.
