On the study of phase and dimensionally controlled titania nanostructures synthesis at sub-zero temperatures

A Simple Approach on Synthesis of TiO2 Nanoparticles and its Application in dye Sensitized Solar Cells

“…TiO2 nanoparticles are almost popular materials for preparing DSSC photo-anodes made with different shapes of TiO2 nanostructures such as nanorods [3,4], nanotubes [5,6] and nanofibers [7], etc and demonstrated their own advantages. Most of the research focuses on modified properties of TiO2 structures, morphology [8,9], tuning of the phase [10] or external doping [11,12] by different approaches. TiO2 nanoparticles morphology, specific surface area, crystal phase and crystalline structure play an important role in solar cell performance [13].…”

Recent advances in ultra-low temperature (sub-zero to 100 °C) synthesis, mechanism and applications of titania (TiO2) nanoparticles

“…42,76,92 Below room temperature-controlled reactions of highly reactive titanium precursors led to variable crystalline structure. 7 Few researchers found that controlled hydrolysis with surfactants acquires precise growth of nano TiO 2 . From left to right, (reproduced with permission.…”

“…Thermal variation has become one of the crucial parameter for the TiO 2 synthesis in a controlled manner for diverse morphology, phase and property. 7 Of late many review articles on the synthesis of titania can be found. [57][58][59][60][61][62] Most of them discuss on either the synthesis process, morphological tuning or the application possibilities in detail.…”

An evaluation of diffraction peak profile analysis (DPPA) methods to study plastically deformed metals

“…The Williamson-Hall method [5] is a popular method to determine size and strain values from the full-width or integral breadths of a diffraction pattern [27,[42][43][44][45][46][47]. The advantage of the method is that only the fullwidth is needed so the quality of the peaks need not be as high as in some methods.…”
