Synthesis of Titania Nanowires From Local Synthetic Rutiles

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method for preparation of titania nanowires with diameter around 20 nmand length up more than 4um is described. The precursor was supply from local amang plant in Lahat, Perak which is produced the by product called synthetic rutiles. This precursor was mix with NaOH to form sodium titanate followed by heating at temperature of 550°C for 3 h. The sodium titanate formed by this way aggregated into 1D nanostructures and was subsequently transformed into titania nanowires during the heat treatment. The crystalline phase of the titania nanowires is rutile. The precursor as well as titania based samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Energy dispersive X-ray and scanning electron microscopy.
