Efficient, Green Non-aqueous Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Anatase TiO2 and Pt Loaded TiO2 Nanorods with High Photocatalytic Performance

A high-yield synthesis of pure anatase titania nanorods has been achieved through a nonaqueous microwave-based approach. The residual organics on nanoparticles surfaces were completely removed under ozone flow at room temperature in air. The TiO2 nanorods, with average lengths of 27.6 ± 5.8 nm and a...
