Antibacterial and photocatalytic activities of controllable (anatase/rutile) mixed phase TiO₂ nanophotocatalysts synthesized <i>via</i> a microwave-assisted sol–gel method

Abstract

TiO₂ with different ratios of anatase/rutile phases were synthesized <italic>via</italic> a microwave assisted sol–gel method and by applying a single source precursor (SSP) with a constant concentration of nitric acid that was used as the structure directing agent.
