The preparation of TiO(2) nanocrystallite powders coated with and without 9 mol% ZnO has been studied for cosmetic applications in sunscreens by a co-precipitation process using TiCl(4) and Zn(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O as starting materials. XRD results show that the phases of anatase TiO(2) and rutile TiO(2) coexist for precursor powders without added ZnO (T-0Z) and calcined at 523 to 973 K for 2 h. Wh...

TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized from titanium isopropoxide by a simple peptization method using sulfuric, nitric, and acetic acids. The effect of peptizing acid on physicochemical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 powders was studied. The structural properties of synthesized TiO2 powders were analyzed by using XRD, TEM, N2-physisorption, Raman, DR UV-vis, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron s...

The surface properties of biomaterials play a vital role in cell morphology and behaviors such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation. Three different crystal phases of titania film (rutile, anatase and amorphous titania) with similar roughness were successfully synthesized by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. The surface roughness of each film was about 8-10 nm. Primary...

In this work, TiO2 /SiO2 (pure anatase), and TiO2 /SiO2 (anatase/rutile) nano-photocatalysts are prepared by using sol-gel method and control of acidity. The particles size is calculated using Scheerer, s equation and is estimated to be around 7-15 nm. In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 /SiO2 ,1% (wt) platinum particles are loaded on both catalysts using photoreductive meth...

We use density functional theory to examine structure− activity relationships of small vanadia clusters supported on anatase TiO2(001) and rutile TiO2(110) surfaces. A thermodynamic analysis indicates that the vanadia monomer cluster can be stabilized on the anatase TiO2(001) surface in a catalytically relevant oxygen environment. On the other hand, vanadia clusters tend to aggregate into dimer...

nano-sized titanium dioxide tio2 powder was prepared by new wet chemical route from its precursor titanium (iv) chloride (ticl4) as precursor with isopropoxy alcohol in presence of nitric acid under ambient condition. their morphologies, phase compositions and components of the tio2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (tem), field emission scanning electron micr...

ticl4, ammonia, inorganic salts as raw material, nanometer composite-crystal tio2 powders were synthesized by two-step chemical method. precursors were crystallized with different phase and stable composite-crystal tio2 with anatase and rutile phase was prepared at low temperature. quantitative control of crystal phase was realized. remarkable factors including reaction ph value, reaction time,...
