Synthesis of Highly Photocatalytic TiO2 Microflowers Based on Solvothermal Approach Using N,N-Dimethylformamide
Crystallized anatase TiO2 microflowers with high surface area are synthesized by a simple templatefree solvothermal method using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Titanium sources undergo wellorganized assembly in DMF to form flower-shaped TiO2 particles. After the
calcination, the anatase frameworks are highly crystallized, and the surface area is increased up to 256 m2 ยท g−1. The calcined TiO2 microflowers show superior photocatalytic performance over the commercially available TiO2 product (P25)
in the degradation of methylene blue.
