The Effect of Temperature on the Surface Area and Porosity of TiO2 Nanoparticle Prepared by sol-gel Method

Abstract

TiO₂ nanoparticle has been integrated through synthetic reaction by sol-geltechnique. Thenanoparticles were characterized utilizing techniques like, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM).UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM image shows that the TiO₂ is spherical in shape with average diameter different as indicated by temperature, the band gap of TiO₂ nanoparticale is (2.9) eV, BET and BJH investigation gives particular surfacearea. Surface area and Pore volume diminishes with expanding temperature
