Abstract
Nano‐sized TiO2 sol was prepared through a wet synthesis process. The synthesis procedure involved hydrolysis of TiCl4, acid treatment, and a SiO2 surface‐modifying process. Before surface modification, the TiO2 suspension was treated with acid to remove Na ions, soluble TiO2, and other impurities. The acid treatment of a TiO2 suspension at a higher temperature was proved to be useful for effective SiO2 modification. The colloidal sol provided high transparency in visible light as well as excellent UV‐shielding properties. Surface modification of TiO2 particles with SiO2 greatly improved both the dispersing stability in neutral pH and the photostability of TiO2 colloidal sol.
