Final Report: Interlaboratory Study for the Measurement of BET-Specific Surface Area Using an Industrially Relevant TiO2 Nanopowder
نویسنده
چکیده
This report summarizes the findings of an interlaboratory study (ILS) conducted in 2009-2010 under the auspices of the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) Technical Working Area (TWA) 34 (Nanoparticle Populations). The stated objective of this ILS was to assess the “real world” measurement precision and between-laboratory variation for determination of the surface area of an industrially relevant metal-oxide nanomaterial in powder form. The test material, nanocrystalline titanium dioxide, also serves as the source material for production of a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM 1898).

Effect of Annealing Temperature on Structural, Electrical and Optical Properties of TiO2 Nanopowder
TiO2 nanopowder is prepared by simple sol-gel method using starting material as titanium isopropoxide with methanol and annealed at 600°C, 700°C and 800°C for 1 hour in air. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed the presence of both anatase and rutile phase in TiO2 specimens annealed at different temperatures. It is observed that the content of rutile phase and crystallite size increases with incr...
