Synthesis of titanium dioxide microstructures via sucrose ester microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal method

Titanium dioxide particles were successfully prepared using microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal processing route, with sucrose ester as a stabilising agent. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the particles possessed anatase crystal phase. Scanning electron micrographs showed micron-sized spher...
