Influence of acidic pH on the formulation of TiO2 nanocrystalline powders with enhanced photoluminescence property
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method at different pH values (3.2–6.8) with a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Raw samples were calcined at 500 °C for 2 h. The effects of pH on the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were invest...
