TiO 2 nanoparticles were prepared by Sol-Gel method at different pH values (4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, and 2). All samples were heated at 500°C for 18 h. The optical, morphological, and structural properties of the samples have been investigated using XRD, SEM, and UV-vis spectrophotometer techniques. The results indicated the formation of TiO 2 nanoparticles with pure Anatase phase at pH= 4 and 3.5, while further decreasing of pH, the Rutile phase start to appear intensively compare to Anatase phase. For pH=3, the ratio Rutile phase to Anatase phase was found to be around 76%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
