Fine particles of photocatalytic anatase-type TiO2 prepared through hydrolysis of titanium-tetraisopropoxide were coated by carbon through their precipitation in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aqueous solution, followed by heat treatment at high temperatures of 400-1000 degreesC in a flow of high purity Ar. Without carbon coating, the phase transformation from anatase to rutile started above 600 degreesC, but it was suppressed up to 800 degreesC with carbon coating. Suppression of the phase transformation depended on the amount of carbon coated, apparent suppression being observed with carbon content above 5 mass%. The amount of carbon coated on anatase was controlled by changing the concentration of PVA in the solution. In order to have a carbon content of about 5 mass%, a PVA solution with more than 2 mass% had to be used. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
