This work focuses on the studies of titanium butoxide (Ti(OBu)4) molar ratio effect in the TiO2 nanoparticles size via solvothermal method for methylene blue degradation. The materials used for the synthesis were: Ti(OBu)4 as titanium source, anhydrous ethanol (EtOH) as solvent, and nitric acid (HNO...
