摘要
A convenient and scalable technique for the synthesis of rutile titanium dioxide(TiO2) nano-rods was presented by using bulk TiO2 powder, sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and distilled water as raw materials. X-ray diffraction(XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) studies indicate that the prepared sample is crystalline and free from any impurities, however, it has no distinct shape and possesses a huge degree of agglomeration, and the average crystal size is around 40 nm. After annealing the sample at 600 °C for 2 h, it is observed through FESEM that nano-rods are formed. And XRD analysis shows that the nano-rods are single crystalline with distinct and smooth surfaces in different sizes with average length of about 1 μm and diameter of about 80 nm. Further UV-visible spectroscopy and Raman studies were conducted for the prepared sample and the band gap of the final product is found to be 3.40 eV.
用TiO2粉末、NaOH和蒸馏水为原料合成金红石型TiO2纳米棒。XRD和FESEM分析表明,制备的样品为单晶且无杂质,其平均粒径约为40 nm。当样品于600°C退火2 h后,FESEM观察发现生成了TiO2纳米棒。XRD分析表明纳米棒为单晶。纳米棒表面光滑,其长约为1μm,直径约为80 nm。紫外和拉曼光谱研究表明,所制备样品的能带间隙为3.40 eV。
