Near Monodisperse TiO2 Nanoparticles and Nanorods

Abstract
Highly crystalline, near monodisperse TiO2 nanoparticles, nanorods and their metal‐ion‐doped (Sn4+, Fe3+, Co2+, and Ni2+, etc.) derivatives have been prepared by well‐controlled solvothermal reactions. Through adjusting the reaction parameters, such as reaction temperature, duration, and concentration of the reactants, the size, shape, and dispersibility of the products can be controlled. A possible reaction mechanism can be proposed based on experimental evidence.
