Ordered mesoporous TiO2–NiTiO3 thin films, with nickel content x < 0.5, were prepared by dip-coating an acidic solution of hydrolysed transition metal chlorides in controlled humidity, followed by a very careful annealing treatment. These latter treatments were studied by in situ SAXS-WAXS experiments involving synchrotron radiation and TEM analysis. They revealed that the walls can be composed of amorphous, single crystalline or multi crystalline nanoparticles depending on x and the conditions applied during the thermal treatment.
