description

Abstract Nano structured TiO 2 rutile samples were prepared in mild conditions by hydrolysis of TiCl 4 in different solutions. The powders revealed a fair photoactivity for the photoeatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol. The influence of preparation procedure, pH and presence of Cl − and N 3 − anions on the physicochemical features and photocatalytic activity of the powders was investigated.
