U.V.-vis, Transmission electron microscopy, Dynamic light scattering, and X-ray analyses are performed to characterize the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles. It is almost spherical in shape, having a size of 60–140 nm and the XRD peaks at 2θ = 25.363° confirm the characteristic facets for anatase form. The synthesized nanocatalyst is highly active in the decomposition of methyl orange (64 mg/L) in sunlight (~73%) for 2.5h. }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {3}, year = {2014}, pages = {196 - 199}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997629}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/87}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 87, 2014}, }
