β¦ Synopsis
An ethanol solution of Ti-peroxy compounds was prepared from the ethanol solution of titanium isopropoxide (Ti(O-iPr)4) and H2O2. Heating of the ethanol solution of the Ti-peroxy compounds at 348 K formed a Ti-peroxy gel, and heat treatment of the gel at 348 K for more than 6 h formed gels that consisted of anatase nanoparticles. The diameter of the anatase nanoparticles increased from 9 to 15 nm as the heating time increased from 6 to 48 h. According to the results of the N2 adsorption measurement, the anatase nanoparticles had micropores, and the specific surface area (SBET) was in the range of 254 to 438 m2/g. The particle size, lattice strain, specific surface area, and photocatalytic activity of the anatase nanoparticles can be regulated by the heating time of the Ti-peroxy gel at 348 K.

## Abstract The formation of nanocrystalline TiO~2~ particles has been investigated via a surfactantβfree synthetic nonβhydrothermal method. Titanium isopropoxide and toluene were used as the starting materials. At a low temperature of 250 Β°C for 6 h, the reaction mixture turned in to a white preci
Nanocrystalline TiO 2 ultra5ne powders with di4erent grain sizes have been prepared by the sol+gel method. The grain sizes and the crystalline phases have been determined. Heat capacities in the temperature range of 78+370 K have also been measured, and the polynomial equations expressing the change
The pH value in the gel-sol system for the preparation of uniform anatase TiO2 nanoparticles, as a decisive factor for controlling the size and shape of the final product, was found to be significantly changed during the formation process of the anatase TiO2 particles from a condensed Ti(OH)4 gel. T
