Spectroscopic analyses of the photocatalytic behavior of nano titanium dioxide.

Nano titanium dioxide TiO2 was synthesized using hydrolysis method then subjected to several characterizations. XRD revealed that the as-prepared sample is pure anatase phase and after calcinations at 500°C for 3 h the crystallinity has increased. The crystallite size calculated by Debye-Scherrer's formula is 8 nm.
