As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials.
Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the …

Bionanotechnology has now become firmly established in its own right as one of the
principle and focused subdisciplines within nanotechnology.(1-10) Bionanotechnology can …

Titanium dioxide, TiO 2, is an important photocatalytic material that exists as two main
polymorphs, anatase and rutile. The presence of either or both of these phases impacts on …

The world's energy consumption is predicted to grow by 56% by the year 2040, from 520
quadrillion Btu pa in 2010 to 820 quadrillion Btu/pa, as reported by the US Energy …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most widely investigated metal oxides due to its
extraordinary surface, electronic and catalytic properties. However, the large band gap of …

We report on the synthesis of phase-pure TiO 2 nanoparticles in anatase, rutile and brookite
structures, using amorphous titania as a common starting material. Phase formation was …

Titanium dioxide is one of the most intensely studied oxides due to its interesting
electrochemical and photocatalytic properties and it is widely applied, for example in …

We demonstrate the controlled growth of high aspect ratio anatase TiO2 nanorods by
hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in oleic acid (OLEA) as surfactant at a …

Novel carbon self-doped TiO2 sheets (CTS) with exposed {001} facets were synthesized by
hydrothermal treatment of titanium carbide (TiC) in a HNO3-HF mixed aqueous solution. In …

Nanocrystalline titania are a robust candidate for various functional applications owing to its
non-toxicity, cheap availability, ease of preparation and exceptional photochemical as well …
