Size and shape control of nanocrystallites in mesoporous TiO2 films†
Abstract
We investigated the influences of the titania precursor chemistry and hydrothermal temperature in the sol–gel procedure on the growth of TiO2 nanocrystallites. The nanocrystallites were prepared either from Ti(OiPr)4 (OiPr = isopropoxide) in acetic acid solution or from Ti(OiPr)3(OAc) (OAc = acetate) in
