A Ti‐Cr‐MCM‐48 photocatalyst prepared in a single step exhibits superior photocatalytic activity compared to TiO2‐Cr‐MCM‐48 prepared by a post‐impregnation method. The high activity of the photocatalyst is attributed to the synergistic interaction between the Cr ions dispersed in the silica framewor...
