TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited on the surfaces of SiO2 microspheres with a mesoporous structure prepared by a hydrolysis-controlled sol-gel technique. The TiO2 NPs were firmly combined on the surfaces of SiO2 microspheres through the interfacial Si-O-Ti bonds. The coupling causes the bandgap widening up to 3.37 eV, enhancing the photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of acetaldehyde under illumination of UV-light (330 < lambda < 400 nm). Density functional theory calculations for model clusters suggested that the observed results are derived from the lowering in the valence band edge energy with the interfacial bond formation.
