Abstract

Anatase is one of the most suitable TiO2 phases in photoactive systems which has excellent properties such as photo corrosion resistance, adjustable microstructure, nontoxicity, stability of chemical, and relatively low price. TiO2 is a semiconductor with a band gap of∼3.2 eV under UV radiation activating, so it is very important to know the band gap of the synthesized anatase TiO2 before being applied in photoactive systems or other applications. In this study, computational calculation of the band gap of anatase TiO2 was carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT), and the synthesis of anatase TiO2 was performed with TiCl3 precursor. The calculated electronic band gap of anatase TiO2 is ∼2.2 eV, while the experimental values of optical band gap are in the range of 3.188 - 3.203 eV.
