the nanostructured anatase tio2 with high thermal stability was prepared by polymeric sol-gel method without any additives. the particle size distribution of polymeric titania sol was determined by dynamic light scattering (dls). then properties of obtained titania were investigated by tg-dta, xrd, fesem and tem. also, the decolorization capability of resultant anatase was evaluated using methy...

in this paper, a modified sol-gel method using peroxotitanic acid sol (pta) was applied for the preparation of tio2 nanostructured thin films on glass plates. the peroxotitanic acid sol was synthesized using titanium isopropoxide, isopropylalchol, h2o and hydrogen peroxide. tio2 films were then calcined at 500oc and characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem)...
