TEM Study of Rutile-Phase TiO₂ Nanosheets

Abstract:

TiO₂ nanosheets have been successfully synthesized via a simple sol-gel process. These nanostructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The sheet-shaped single-crystalline nanostructures are pure rutile-phase structure, with landscape dimension of 10-45 nm. EDS investigation confirms that the TiO₂ nanosheets are only composed of Ti and O, and the atomic ration of Ti and O is close to 1:2. High photocatalytic activity might be expected for those TiO₂ nanosheets due to their large surface area.
