摘要：

The phase transformation from anatase to rutile in nanocrystalline TiO2 nanorods comprised of length and diameter of approximately 35 and 4 run, respectively, has been investigated. TiO2 nanorods were synthesized at 100 degrees C with titanium isopropoxide as a presusor, oleic acid (OLEA) as a surfactent, and trimethylamine as a catalyst. Characteristic absorption peaks of OLEA were observed from the OLEA-caped TiO2 nanorods after synthesis and disappeared after annealing process. No phase transformation (from anatase to rutile) were observed after annealing at 750 degrees C for 2 h. Only small portion of phase transformation occurred after annealing at 850 degrees C for 2 and 3 h. A relatively slow phase transformation from anatase to rutile might be due to the small diameter of TiO2 nanorods resulting favored surface free energy of the anatase phase.
