TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide in W/O microemulsions consisting of water, nonionic Brij series surfactants with different hydrophilic and Tween series surfactants with different hydrophobic group, and cyclohexane. The properties of these particles were characterized by TEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA and DTA. The photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol has been studied in order to compare the photocatalytic activity of prepared nanosized titania. TiO2 particles calcined at 500 degrees C have a stable anatase phase which has no organic surfactants and the product completely transforms into the anatase phase above 300 degrees C and the rutile phase begins to appear at 600 degrees C regardless of surfactants. The particles are shown to have a spherical shape and have an uniform size distribution but the shape becomes distorted with a decrease of hydrophilic group chain length according to rapid hydrolysis of water and titanium alkoxide. In addition, the crystallite size and crystallinity increase with a decrease of hydrophilic and hydrophobic group chain length and an increase of calcination temperature. The photocatalytic activity increases with an increase of hydrophilic and hydrophobic group length and the titania calcined at 500 degrees C shows the highest activity on the photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol regardless of surfactants.
