Abstract

Pure anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by microwave assisted sol–gel method and further characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–Visible spectrophotometer, SEM images showed that TiO2 nanoparticles were porous structure. The XRD patterns indicated that TiO2 after annealed at 300 °C for 3 h was mainly pure anatase phase. The crystallite size was in the range of 20–25 nm, which is consistent with the results obtained from TEM images. Microwave heating offers several potential advantages over conventional heating for inducing or enhancing chemical reactions.
