![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Effect of ultrasonic treatment and temperature on nanocrystalline TiO2 Effect of ultrasonic treatment and temperature on nanocrystalline TiO2](/preview/png/1291073.png)
Nanocrystalline TiO2 particles were precipitated from the ethanol solution of titanium isopropoxide (Ti(O–iPr)4) and H2O2 by refluxing at 80 °C for 48 h. The obtained particles were filtered and dried at 100 °C for 12 h. The dried powder itself, the sample with heating at 400 °C, and the sample with ultrasonically treating were prepared to investigate the effects of post treatments on materials characteristics and electrochemical properties of nanocrystalline TiO2. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all of the samples were fitted well to the anatase phase. The field emission-TEM image of as-prepared sample shows a uniform spherical morphology with 5 nm particle size and the sample heated at 400 °C shows slightly increased particle size of about 10 nm while maintaining spherical shape. The sample treated with ultrasonic for 5 h or more at room temperature shows high aspect ratio particle shape with an average diameter of 5 nm and a length of 20 nm. According to the results of the electrochemical testing, as-prepared sample, the sample heated at 400 °C for 3 h, and the sample treated with ultrasonic show initial capacities of 270, 310 and 340 mAh g−1, respectively.
