Stable electrical, morphological and optical properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles affected by annealing temperature

Different TiO2 synthesization processes give different properties. Most of researches in material studies only focus on the morphological and optical properties of TiO2 while lacking in the effort of achieving stable electrical properties of the material. In engineering, stable electrical propertie...
