TY - JOUR ID - TI - Effect of Structural Phase on Photocatalytic Activity of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles AU - Zahraa H. Zaidan, Oday A. Hammadi, Kasim H. Mahmood PY - 2023 VL - 19 IS - 3A SP - 55 EP - 58 JO - Iraqi Journal of Applied Physics المجلة العراقية للفيزياء التطبيقية SN - 18132065 23091673 AB - In this work, the effect of structure on the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles for the degradation of methylene blue dye in aqueous solution was introduced. The titanium dioxide nanoparticles were prepared by two different methods (solvothermal and dc reactive sputtering) with three different structures (anatase only, anatase:rutile with 2:1 and 1:1). According to the obtained results, the TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by solvothermal method showed better photocatalytic activity than the other samples prepared by dc reactive sputtering. The solvothermal method can be described as a green method to prepare nanoparticles as photocatalyst for environmental and biomedical applications.
