Popis:	Pure phase TiO2nanomaterials were synthesized by an autoclaving treatment of TiCl4with butanol as a single alcohol source. It was found that the control of molar ratio of TiCl4to butanol played an important role in determining the TiO2crystal phase and morphology. A high molar ratio of TiCl4to butanol favored the formation of anatase nanoparticles, whereas rutile nanorods were selectively obtained at a low molar ratio of TiCl4to butanol. Evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized TiO2was performed in terms of decomposition of organic dye rhodamine B under ultraviolet irradiation. It turned out that the as-synthesized TiO2crystallites possessed higher photocatalytic activities toward bleaching rhodamine B than Degussa P25, benefiting from theirhigh surface area, small crystal size as well as high crystallinity.
