Abstract
The reaction morphology was investigated depending on the amounts of HCl and $NH_4OH$, and the effect of pH was studied on the preparation of $TiO_2$ nanopowders. $TiO_2$ nanopowder was prepared using a titanium tetra-isopropoxide. Subsequently, the effect of pH on the characteristics of the prepared $TiO_2$ nanopowder was evaluated depending on the amounts of the catalysts such as HCl and $NH_4OH$. The morphology and phase transformation of $TiO_2$ powder prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide were strongly influenced by the presence of the catalysts. In the case of using $NH_4OH$, the morphology of the $TiO_2$ powder exhibited powder form. For the HCl catalyst, it showed bulk or granule form. The phase transformations of amorphous $Ti(OH)_4$ to anatase $TiO_2$ and the anatase to rutile was significantly influenced by the kind and amount of thecatalysts.
