What is Nanosized TiO~2~ synthesis by EbCDAB microemulsion about?

## Abstract BACKGROUND: Microemulsion is the easiest and cleanest of the popular methods of synthesizing nanomaterial. This work investigated the possibility of forming a single‐phase microemulsion using ethanediyl‐α,β‐bis (cetyldimethylammonium bromide), termed EbCDAB, in a n‐hexanol/water system, and looked for the best scale of microemulsion to synthesize TiO~2~ to give the best cleaning of organic pollution. RESULTS: Results confirm that EbCDAB, n‐hexanol and water form a microemulsion system, and this system is an effective way to synthesize nanoparticles of TiO~2~. Photo catalysis experiments showed sample E~6−3~ to be the best catalyst, and it decomposed 82% of Methyl Orange (10 mg L^−1^) in 60 min under UV‐light irradiation. E~6−3~ had 1.4 times higher activity than the commercial P25. Analyses using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermographic differential scanning calorimetry (TG‐DSC) and Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FT‐IR), showed that particles of E~6−3~ were of size around 11 nm and of anatase phase. CONCLUSION: The best microemulsion was found to have weight ratio n‐hexanol:EbCDAB:water of 6:3:1. At this ratio, TiO~2~ nanopa
