AB  - In this study, novel photocatalyst monolith materials were successfully 
      fabricated by a non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) technique. By adding 
      a certain amount of ethyl acetate (as non-solvent) into a 
      cellulose/LiCl/N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution, and successively adding 
      titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanoparticles (NPs), cellulose/TiO(2) composite monoliths 
      with hierarchically porous structures were easily formed. The obtained composite 
      monoliths possessed mesopores, and two kinds of macropores. Scanning Electron 
      Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform 
      Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller 
      (BET), and Ultraviolet-visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) measurements were adopted to 
      characterize the cellulose/TiO(2) composite monolith. The cellulose/TiO(2) composite 
      monoliths showed high efficiency of photocatalytic activity in the decomposition 
      of methylene blue dye, which was decomposed up to 99% within 60 min under UV 
      light. Moreover, the composite monoliths could retain 90% of the photodegradation 
      efficiency after 10 cycles. The novel NIPS technique has great potential for 
      fabricating recyclable photocatalysts with highly efficiency.
