Thermally stable mesoporous titania can be synthesized following different synthesis routes. In this paper, mesoporous titania was synthesized applying the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method. The mesostructured titania was treated with an NH4OH solution to increase the thermal stability. The influence of this postsynthesis treatment on the anatase formation was investigated using different initial synthesis conditions. Mesoporous titania was synthesized under both acidic and basic conditions, with hexadecylamine and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as surfactants. The samples were investigated with FT-Raman to investigate when exactly anatase was formed during the synthesis. It will be shown that the anatase formation depends mainly on the initial synthesis conditions. This study shows that anatase can already be formed before calcination under certain circumstances. Furthermore, the accessibility of the anatase phase influenced the photocatalytic activity.
