Abstract
Anatase titania based TiO2/С nanocomposites have been synthesized via the thermal decomposition of titanium glycerolate prepared by the reaction between glycerin and tetraethoxytitanium or tetrabutoxytitanium. The content of carbon in the composite material is from 22.3 to 23.5 wt %. The principal physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It has been found that the textural and morphological features of the TiO2/C nanocomposites are governed by the type of titanium alkoxide used to synthesize the precursor, i.e., titanium glycerolate.
