摘要
Nanocrystalline TiO2 particles were prepared to study the calcination temperature dependent phase transformation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed the strong Bragg peaks correspond to anatase (101) and rutile (110) phases with their crystallite size 12 and 49 nm for the samples T1 and T2 calcined at 450 and 700 degrees C respectively. Raman spectroscopy investigation showed the phase transformation with the dominating rutile peaks from the pure-anatase phase. By UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, the strong ultraviolet-light absorption below 400 nm was observed. Using Kubelka-Munk function, the estimated band gap values were found to be 3.38 and 3.03 eV. The transmission scanning microscopy (TEM) images exhibited the slightly agglomerated nanoparticles while the selected area diffraction (SAED) patterns endorsed the polycrystalline nature.
