Abstract

$TiO_2$ nanopowder was successfully prepared using a titanium tetra-isopropoxide. Subsequently, the effect of pH on the characteristics of the prepared $TiO_2$ nanopowder was evaluated depending on the amounts of the catalysts such as HCI and NH40H. The morphology and phase transformation of $TiO_2$ powder prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide were strongly influenced by the presence of the catalysts. In the case of using $NH_4$OH, the morphology of the $TiO_2$ powder exhibited powder form. For the HCI catalyst, it showed bulk or granule form. The phase transformations of amorphous $Ti(OH)_4$ to anatase $TiO_2$ and the anatase to rutile was significantly influenced by the kind and amount of the catalysts.

Titannium tetra-isoporpoxide의 가수분해 반응을 이용하여 nanosize의 $TiO_2$powder를 합성하고, 가수분해 반응에 있어서 촉매로 사용되는 HCI과 $NH_4$OH의 첨가량에 따른 반응양상과 생성된 $TiO_2$분말의 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 염기성 촉매인 $NH_4$OH,를 사용하였을 경우에 균질한 형상의 powder 형태의 $TiO_2$를 합성할 수 있었으며, 산성 촉매인 HCI을 사 용하여 p보가 5.04 이하일 경우에는 괴상이나 과립의 형태로 생성되었다. 사용한 촉매의 종류와 양에 따라 저온의 결정상인 anatase의 생성속도와 보다 안정한 rutile상으로의 상전이 속도가 영향을 받았다.
