Experimental data: microwave-assisted crystallization of titania nanoparticles

Data obtained for publication Scien. Rep. 14, 2024, 12617Authors and AffiliationsAdam Kubiak, Maciej Zalas, and Michał Cegłowski from the Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.Methodology and ToolsThe study details a new in situ microwave crystallization method to synthesize titanium dioxide (TiO2​) nanoparticles. The research investigated how different microwave temperatures affect the nanoparticles' crystal structure, morphology, and surface area. The effectiveness of these materials was then tested in two main applications: the photocatalytic degradation of formic acid and their use in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs).Funding InformationThis work was funded by the National Science Centre of Poland (2021/43/D/ST5/01190).
