Went et al. [30] prepared the anatase phase of Ti02 by hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide in a water/isopropanol mixture. After calcination at 773 K the anatase contained 5% brookite and no rutile. 

A final point to be dealt with is the achievement of specificity with the Ti02/Pt catalyst. As was illustrated above, these particles interact selectively with MV-+ while no or very slow reaction occurs with Ru(bipy)2+. This effect is readily interpreted in terms of the positive surface charge of the particles. The Ti02 particles prepared from hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide when charged with Pt have an isoelectric point of 3 as determined by electrophoresis technique. At pH = 1.5 employed in or experiments, the surface is positively charged (f = 28 mV). Thus the access of Ru(bipy)3+ to the particle surface is impaired by electrostatic forces which explains its astonishingly long lifetime under these conditions. 

NaNOs, Ni(N03)2 6H20 were used for the preparation, respectively, of the electrolyte and impregnating solutions necessary for the potentiometric mass titrations and deposition experiments. The Ti02 supports used are given in table 1. The lab prepared titania was synthesized by hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide. The specific surface area SSA) and the porosity were calculated from the physical adsorption-desorption isotherms of N2 at -196 °C, obtained using a Micromeritics TriStar 3000 instmmenL... 

Nanoparticles of the semicondnctor titanium dioxide have also been spread as mono-layers [164]. Nanoparticles of TiOi were formed by the arrested hydrolysis of titanium iso-propoxide. A very small amount of water was mixed with a chloroform/isopropanol solution of titanium isopropoxide with the surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and a catalyst. The particles produced were 1.8-2.2 nm in diameter. The stabilized particles were spread as monolayers. Successive cycles of II-A isotherms exhibited smaller areas for the initial pressnre rise, attributed to dissolution of excess surfactant into the subphase. And BAM observation showed the solid state of the films at 50 mN m was featureless and bright collapse then appeared as a series of stripes across the image. The area per particle determined from the isotherms decreased when sols were subjected to a heat treatment prior to spreading. This effect was believed to arise from a modification to the particle surface that made surfactant adsorption less favorable. 

The approach of Qide et al. to produce thin films of TiQ2 via a sol-gel strategy uses a mixture of titanium isopropoxide, ethanol, water, and triethanolamine. The chemistry is similar to what is used in the silicate gel where a hydrolysis/condensation reaction is exploited (Wright and Sommerdijk, 2001) ... 

Titania gels produced in this study were formed by the acid hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide [14]. Although all the sols were produced in a similar manner, the final pH for the formation was controlled by the addition of ammonium hydroxide. The acid hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide may be considered as follows ... 

From Isopropoxide in the Presence of H2SO4 310 cm of concentrated II2SO4 was added to 1095 cm of water. After cooling, 1065 g of titanium isopropoxide was added with agitation, and the temperature was kept below 60°C. Isopropanol was distilled out under vacuum, and titanyl sulfate was hydrolyzed. Then the product of hydrolysis was calcined. 

N-doped Ti02 was prepared by a wet method, i.e., the hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide (TTIP) or titanium tetrachloride with an aqueous ammonia solution, followed by calcination at temperatures above 330°C [403]. The maximum absorption of visible light by this N-doped 77O2 was about 50% at around 440 nm. To evaluate the... 

In the example presented here the reverse micelle was prepared by dispersion of the surfactant, sodium bis(2-ethyl hexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. The hydrolysis and sol-gel processing of titanium isopropoxide was carried out in the 5 nm size cavity of the reverse micelle to produce highly uniform Ti02 nanoparticles. These particles were redispersed in a polymer (polyimide) solution and cast as a film of the polymer composite containing Ti02 nanoparticles. 

To study lET dynamics on NP surface in the water pool of microemulsion Ti02 particles were synthesized. Colloidal Ti02 suspension in reverse micelles was prepared by hydrolysis of titanium(IV) isopropoxide/2-propanol solution as followed by Sant and Kamat [31]. Water-in-oil type of microemulsions of Wq = 1...
