“…In addition, the P25 Degussa precursor material used has several obstacles such as the import routes, limited stock, and high price For a country like Indonesia which has abundant mineral deposits, this motivates efforts to obtain an alternative TiO2 precursor from the local resource, namely FeTiO3 ilmenite mineral 17) . A hydrometallurgical extraction process has also been carried out using the sulfate pathway as a route to convert the ilmenite into TiO2 [18][19][20][21][22] . In previous studies 23) , the extraction process has converted the ilmenite into filtrate and slag/residue.…”

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanosheets are potential candidate material to be developed for photocatalytic applications. The natural resources of TiO2 are abundant in the form of the mineral ilmenite (FeTiO3). In this work, TiO2 nanosheets have been synthesized using ilmenite mineral as the precursor through a post-hydrothermal process with temperature variations of 80,100, 120, and 150 o C for 24 hours. The resulting TiO2 nanosheets were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and ultraviolet visible-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS). XRD analysis showed that the majority phase of the nanosheets was anatase TiO2 accompanied by a small amount of sodium-titanate. The SEM study reveals the average thickness of nanosheets derived from post-hydrothermal process was 24.86 nm. XRD test results also showed that the increase in post-hydrothermal temperature from 80 to 150 o C has resulted in an increase in the crystallite size of anatase TiO2 from 35.14 to 45.59 nm. Such increase in the crystallite size has been found to lead to a decrease in the bandgap energy (Eg) of nanosheets from 2.85 to 2.70 eV. These results support the potential use of the resulting TiO2 nanosheets as the photocatalytic material under the visible light illumination
