Microwave-assisted synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles: photocatalytic activity of powders and thin films

A simple, rapid, and effective synthesis methodology for the preparation of high-performance TiO2 nanoparticles and thin films by combining colloidal sol-gel and microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis was developed. The obtained results indicate that the heating with microwaves at 180 °C for 20 m...
