Abstract

TiO2 nanoparticles have been prepared by hydrothermal method at different temperatures. The X-ray diffraction results showed that anatase TiO2 nanoparticles with grain size in the range of 7–27 nm has been obtained. HRTEM images show the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles with grain size ranging from 7 to 26 nm. The Raman spectra exhibited peaks corresponding to the anatase phase of TiO2. Optical absorption studies reveal that the absorption edge shifts towards longer wavelength (red shift) with increasing hydrothermal temperature.
