Abstract
Samples containing anatase and η-TiO2 nanoparticles have been prepared from titanyl sulfate solutions and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction. Unit-cell parameters of η-TiO2 have been proposed that do not rule out a relationship between the anatase and η-TiO2 structures. The samples containing anatase and η-TiO2 differ in crystallite size and specific surface area and consist of agglomerates of particles of various sizes covered with an amorphous layer. We have studied the effect of synthesis conditions on the ability to prepare a particular titania polymorph with various functional characteristics.
