Description
Summary:In this present study, anatase and rutile mixed phase TiO2 nanoparticles have been prepared by an eco-friendly simple solution combustion method in a single step. Ethylene glycol and Ethanol were used as fuel for the combustion of titanium precursor. The prepared nanoparticles were subjected to UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra, XRD, TEM and FTIR characterizations. The XRD reveals that the prepared TiO2 nanoparticles were in crystalline nature with various amounts of anatase and rutile phases. The weight fractions of anatase and rutile phases were controlled by varying the amount of titanium precursor. The TEM images exhibits that the prepared TiO2 are in size in the range of 20–40 nm.
