Resumen:
TiO2 is the most used photocatalysis for non biodegradable water contaminants. This photocatalyst has been exhaustively studied during the last 20 years, but it is difficult to compare the existing works regarding the properties and mechanisms affecting the TiO2 quantum efficiencyIn this work we made use of the sol gel method to synthesize TiO2 nanoparticles powders with different mass ratios between crystal phases and different morphologies. These characteristics were controlled through the synthesis parameters and the calcination temperatures. By this procedure we want to compare the obtained catalysis and try to identify the characteristics that are the most relevance for the photocatalysis reaction.
