Systematic investigation of the influence of experimental conditions on TiO2 nanosheet structures

The morphology of TiO2 nanoparticles has great influence on their physical/chemical properties. Controlled synthesis with adjustable morphologies is utmost importance for target applications. Herein, a series continually shape, size and crystal structures were synthesized via the hydrolysis titanium isopropoxide, followed by self-assembly using P123 as structure-directing agent ethylene glycol co-surfactant under different solvothermal conditions. effect diverse experimental conditions nanostructures was systematically investigated. Particularly, an optimum nanosheet achieved formation liquid phase observed. This work provides useful enlightenment fabrication nanostructures, which can be potentially employed in fields, such dielectric materials photo-catalysts.
