Microwave assisted synthesis of TiO(2) nanotube: influence of calcination temperature, NaOH concentration and sonication on its photocatalytic Activity

The synthesis of TiO(2) nanotube (TNT) has been done by the aid of Microwave radiation. Different variables in this research includes: calcinations temperature, NaOH concentration, and sonication. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared TNT was evaluated by using an aqueous suspension consisted of methylene blue (MB) under a 25 W Hg lamp. Results showed that nanotubes calcinated at 600C, NaOH 10M and with sonication has the most photocatalytic activity. Characterization of the final TNT has been performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
