Abstract

Titania (TiO2) represents the most widely used semiconductor photocatalysts and photovoltaics (Bach et al., Nature 395:583–585, 1998; Chen et al., Chem Soc Rev 39:4206–4219, 2010), and its performances heavily governed by the physical and chemical properties such as surface area, particle size, micro/nanostructures, exposed crystal planes, and surface chemistry (Dai et al., Nano Lett 9:2455–2459, 2009; Feng et al., Nano Lett 8:3781–3786, 2008; Liu et al., J Am Chem Soc 131:12868–12869, 2009; Yang et al., J Am Chem Soc 131:4078–4083, 2009). The structural parameters depend on the control of hydrolysis, condensation and crystallization of TiO2 precursors by the different synthesis methods. The aim of this chapter is to present the solvothermal and supercritical fluid methods, and to examine the influence of synthesis process on material structure and performance.
