Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by the thermal plasma synthesis; which give a highly crystalline product. Their morphological studies are carried out by using techniques like SEM, EDAX, TEM and SEAD. Crystal size was calculated by XRD using Scherrer equation; which is observed at two current amperes; at 80 A size ranges between 25 and 30 nm and at 120 A size ranges between 30 and 42 nm. Composition analysis was done by TEM–EDAX, FTIR and Fast Fourier Transform techniques. The FTIR peaks clearly show that synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles are in anatase phase; this phase is generally preferred because of its high photocatalytic activity, since it has a more negative conduction band edge potential (higher potential energy of photogenerated electrons), high specific area, nontoxic, photochemically stable and relatively in expensive.
