Photoactive films consisting of pure anatase, brookite or rutile TiO2 were prepared by dip coating from water dispersions obtained by using TiCl4 as the precursor under similar mild experimental conditions.

Hierarchically mesoporous TiO2 (anatase) sub-micron spheres with uniform particle size exhibiting high Li storage capacity and good cycling performance have been successfully prepared in a large quantity by using TiO2-CdSO4 composite as intermediate.

Highly nanoporous TiO(2) (anatase) spheres with an excellent ability in environmental applications have been successfully prepared via in situ hydrolysis of titanium glycolate precursor spheres.

Anatase TiO(2) having different percentages of (001)/(101) surface demonstrated different behaviors for Li(+) ions insertion and much enhanced rate performance of Li-ion batteries.

in this research, tio2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method. ticl4 was used as precursor in hydrogen peroxideand ethanol. the tio2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), electron dispersive spectroscopy (eds) and uv-vis spectrophotometer. the particle size of the as-synthe...

Sol-gel technique was used to coat multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with anatase titania to increasing the surface area and improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Room temperature ballistic conduct of MWCNT combined with semiconducting behavior of anatase brought about a photocatalytic improvement of ~37 % with respect to the highest methyl orange decolorization flair. For characteriza...

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 si...

The widespread production and use of nanoparticles calls for faster and more reliable methods to assess their safety. The main aim of this study was to investigate the genotoxicity of three reference TiO2 nanomaterials (NM) within the frame of the FP7-NANoREG project, with a particular focus on testing the applicability of mini-gel comet assay and micronucleus (MN) scoring by flow cytometry.
