1. A porous particulate nanocomposite material comprising, as determined by X-ray diffraction:
carbon;
an orthorhombic calcium titanate (CaTiO3) crystalline phase; and,
a rhombohedral magnesium titanate (MgTiO3) crystalline phase,
wherein, based on the total number of atoms in the nanocomposite material and as determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX):
the atomic concentration of carbon (C) is from about 1 to about 5 atom % (at. %);
the atomic concentration of titanium (Ti) is from about 20 to about 35 at. %;
the atomic concentration of magnesium (Mg) is from about 5 to about 15 at. %; and,
the atomic concentration of calcium (Ca) is from about 5 to about 15 at. %.
