A novel metal dissolution coupled with reverse micelle formation approach is used as a generalized synthesis method for a series of high surface area metal titanates where the metals used are Bi, Mg, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, W, and Ce. This study reports the highest surface areas published so far. The homogeneous distributions of the metals and titanium are observed in SEM-EDX and TEM mapping. The synthesized materials were comprehensively characterized using PXRD, Raman, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, SEM; EDX, TEM, TEM mapping, TGA, and XPS. The green catalytic oxidation of aniline to nitrosobenzene occurs within 30 min at room temperature when mesoporous W/Ti binary metal oxide is used as the catalyst. The radical mediated catalytic reaction gives excellent yields and the catalyst is reusable up to 4 reaction cycles without losing significant activity.
