Abstract
Present work investigates the applicability of nanosized TiO2 (anatase) as a potential optical sensor material for ambient oxygen below room temperature. Titania nanopowders with grain sizes of 10 and 40 nm are prepared via the sol-gel route and tested for the gas response in water deficit conditions. Both powders exhibit sensitivity against oxygen. At-50 °C 40 nm grain size powder remains sensitive to the ambient changes and the PL output increases ~50% whereas 10 nm grain size powders photoluminescence is quenched.
