Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures were synthesized via the hydrolysis of TiCl4 in alcohol / water solution/with sodium hydroxide solution in the ice-bath (0-5 ◦C). The particles were char-acterized by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), spectroscopy of Ultra Violet-Visible (UV / Visible) and infrared (FT-IR), atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron micro-scope (SEM) analysis were used in order to gain information about the material, morphology, size and the shape of the particles
