Preparation of grass-like TiO 2 nanostructure thin films: Effect of growth temperature

TiO 2 nanoparticles with various morphologies have been synthesized under various temperature conditions, namely 25, 50, 60 and 90�C via a liquid phase deposition technique. The liquid phase deposition technique is an electroless deposition of...

description TiO 2 nanoparticles with various morphologies have been synthesized under various temperature conditions, namely 25, 50, 60 and 90�C via a liquid phase deposition technique. The liquid phase deposition technique is an electroless deposition of TiO 2 onto the substrate surface via a unique hydrolysis of titanium complexes in the presence of H 3 BO 3 .
