Synthesis of nanosized TiO2 powder by Sol-Gel method in acidic conditions
Authors
Abstract:
The preparation of nano-sized TiO2 by titanium tetraisopropoxide (Ti(OiPr)4) via sol-gelmethod using acid as a catalyst is investigated and the optimized conditions concerning theproportional amount of acid, water, alcohol is established by XRD and SEM. The effect ofcalcination temperature on phase transformation of TiO2 (rutile, anatase and brookite) wasdetermined by XRD. The smallest grain size of TiO2 powder we have obtained is 25 nm foranatase at 400 ºC by controlling the acidity and the mole ratio of starting materials.

full textCharacterization of Structural, Optical and Hydrophilicity properties of TiO2 Nano-Powder Synthesized by Sol-Gel Method
In this paper, titanium dioxide nano-particles were synthesized by sol-gel method in acidic atmosphere. The microstructure, morphology, optical band gap, and hydrophilicity of the sample were studied. Optical band gap of titanium dioxide was probed via Diffuse Reflectance Spectra (DRS) and contact angle (CA) was measured to investigate surface activity. XRD analysis was used to study crys...

This paper presents the optimization process in sol-gel technique to synthesize Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films using in-house Nano-TiO2 powder. Nano-TiO2 powder was previously synthesized in our lab from ilmenite which is a tin mining byproduct using a modified hydrothermal method. By varying the mass of Nano-TiO2 powder and acetic acid (catalyst) concentration in the sol-gel process, highl...

In this study, zirconium carbide nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method in the alcoholic system. The sol was prepared in a three-component alkoxide-water-alcohol system based on the chemical sol-gel process under acidic conditions and at pH = 5. Zirconium n-propoxide, furfuryl alcohol were used as raw materials. After the hydrolysis process and formation of the gel, the initial po...
