Abstract
High crystalline anatase synthesized by a unique simple route using titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor and isopropyl alcohol (IP) as peptizing agent. The Rietveld refinement analysis showed that the synthesized material is composed of 99.0 % anatase and 1.0 % brookite phases of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ). XRD characterized the prominent crystalline phase, providing insights into lattice parameters where a=b= 3.79068 Å, c= 9.50400 Å; α=β=γ= 90.0°; lattice strain 0.718, lattice volume 136.565 Å 3 , specific surface area 429.26 m 2 /g, dislocation density 0.0755 nm − 2 , preference growth 0.119 and packing efficiency 70.09 %. The most intense diffraction was attributed to the (101) plane at 2θ = 25.39°. The average crystallite size through six identical…
