Characterization of Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles Obtained by Hydrolysis Reaction of Ethylene Glycol Solution of Alkoxide

Table 1

The BET specific surface areas of the nanoparticles obtained by heating the mixture of the ethylene glycol solution of TIP and the NH3 aqueous solution. Average pore diameter and total pore volume were estimated by using the BJH method to the N2 adsorption isotherms shown in Figure 6.

The solution added to ethyleneglycol solution of TIP[NH3] = 0.1 M[NH3] = 1 MH2O
