“…The synthesis of the metal oxide nanoparticles involved the microwave assisted solvothermal reaction of tin(IV) chloride or iron(III) acetylacetonate in benzyl alcohol 18, 19. Such an approach is nowadays discussed as the “benzyl alcohol route” 20–23. In this particular case, benzyl alcohol acts as a reactant for the synthesis of the metal oxides and as a reducing agent leading to the partial reduction of graphene oxide 17.…”

“…Nanostructured metal oxides (Niederberger et al, 2005;Pinna et al, 2011) such as titanium dioxide (Barth et al, 2015;Bayani et al, 2016), zinc oxide (Luo et al, 2013;Segets et al, 2009) and cerium dioxide (Chen and Xu, 2018;Seong et al, 2018;Song et al, 2018) are promising materials for current and future applications as catalysts (Low et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2017b), sensors (Ha et al, 2018;Uzunoglu and Stanciu, 2016), nanocomposites (Khataee et al, 2018;Mallakpour and Shamsaddinimotlagh, 2018) or functional ceramics (Bills et al, 2015;Lu et al, 2017). The nonaqueous sol-gel method is a versatile synthesis route to fabricate these materials in a highly crystalline form with well-defined properties (Bilecka et al, 2011;Niederberger et al, 2002).…”

Microfluidic synthesis allows for a good control of the particle formation conditions while minimizing the consumption of material. In this study, we exploited these advantages for the nonaqueous synthesis of TiO 2 , ZnO and CeO 2 nanoparticles in a closed micro droplet reactor which resulted in well-defined particle structures. Monodisperse droplets are generated in microfluidic flow-focusing area and

“…Alcohols (e.g., isopropanol, tert-butanol or benzyl alcohol) have also been used as oxygen donors [ 21 , 29 , 30 ]. In particular, the benzyl alcohol route, based on the reaction of various Ti precursors (TiCl 4 , Ti(O i Pr) 4 ) with excess of benzyl alcohol acting as solvent, oxygen donor and surface ligand, has been extensively used to prepare TiO 2 nanoparticles in the absence of a capping agent [ 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”

Tuning Texture and Morphology of Mesoporous TiO2 by Non-Hydrolytic Sol-Gel Syntheses

The development of powerful synthetic methodologies is paramount in the design of advanced nanostructured materials. Owing to its remarkable properties and low cost, nanostructured TiO2 is widely investigated for applications such as photocatalysis, energy conversion or energy storage. In this article we report the synthesis of mesoporous TiO2 by three different non-hydrolytic sol-gel routes, and we investigate the influence of the synthetic route and of the presence and nature of the solvent on the structure, texture and morphology of the materials. The first route is the well-known ether route, based on the reaction of TiCl4 with iPr2O. The second and third routes, which have not been previously described for the synthesis of mesoporous TiO2, involve the reaction of Ti(OiPr)4 with stoichiometric amounts of acetophenone and benzoic anhydride, respectively. All materials are characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption and SEM. By playing with the non-hydrolytic route used and the reaction conditions (presence of a solvent, nature of the solvent, calcination), it is possible to tune the morphology and texture of the TiO2. Depending on the reaction conditions, a large variety of mesoporous TiO2 nanostructures could be obtained, resulting from the spontaneous aggregation of TiO2 nanoparticles, either rounded nanoparticles, platelets or nanorods. These nanoparticle networks exhibited a specific surface area up to 250 m2 g−1 before calcination, or up to 110 m2 g−1 after calcination.
