Synthesis of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles by Sol-Gel Technique

Abstract

Nanosized Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) powder was synthesized via sol-gel method using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as the precursor. The as prepared nano powder was used for further characterization. The phase transformation was investigated by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The anatase structure of titanium dioxide was obtained after calcination. The microstructure was characterized by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
