TiO2 - Graphene oxide (GO) (GO = 0-1.0wt %) powders were synthesised using sol-gel method
and annealed at 500°C. The samples were then characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD).
The additional of GO gave significant influence on the crystal structure of TiO2. The lattice
parameter of TiO2 were increased with decreasing GO concentration. The unit cell volume of
TiO2-GO annealed in N2 decreased with the oxygen occupancy. In contrary, the TiO2-GO
annealed in O2 has an increase in O2 occupancies in the lattice that was nearly proportional to
its unit cell volume. A continuous weight loss was recorded by TGA at a temperature range of
T= 30 - 1000°C that were associated with H2O, C-H and C-O species. It is concluded that the TiO-C and Ti-C bonds were formed for samples annealed in O2 and N2 respectively. The weight
loss of TiO2-GO annealed in O2 is lesser than that annealed in N2 for same concentration
additional GO into TiO2.
