Synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles via sucrose ester micelle-mediated hydrothermal processing route

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized via low-temperature sucrose ester micelle-mediated hydrothermal processing route using titanium isopropoxide as the precursor. X-ray diffractometer revealed that the samples possessed a mixed crystalline phases consisting of anatase and brookite in whi...
