Nanosized TiO2 photocatalyst powder via sol-gel method: effect of hydrolysis degree on powder properties

Nanosized TiO2 powder was synthesized via sol-gel method using titanium tetraisopoxide (TPT) as the precursor. Mol ratios of water to TPT were varied from 1 (Powder A), 2 (Powder B), 3 (Powder C), and 4 (Powder D) to evaluate effect of hydrolysis degree. TG/DTA curves showed that amorphous phase tur...
