A facile synthesis of rutile-rich titanium oxide nanoparticles using reverse micelle method and their photocatalytic applications
E-mail:,
Flower-like shaped rutile-rich TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of HCl with titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate) immobilized in reverse micelles composed of oleic acid, water, and xylene. Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) analysis showed large surface area of the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles of 177.8 m2/g. We investigated the effect of the concentration of Ti precursor and role of oleic acid in the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles. Rutile-rich TiO2 nanoparticles with large surface area showed better photocatalytic activity in decomposing methyl orange under visible-light irradiation than anatase and rutile mixed phase TiO2 particles.
