	abstract = "Sphere-like rutile TiO<SUB>2</SUB> nanocrystals have been synthesized by sol-gel method followed by hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride in deionized water in the presence of ammonium hydroxide as hydrolysis catalyst. The as-prepared TiO<SUB>2</SUB> nanoparticles have single rutile phase with average diameter &#8764;26.4 nm. The results show that the temperature has a great influence on the particle size distribution and also crystalline phase (rutile) of TiO<SUB>2</SUB> nanoparticles is consistent with the temperature. Characterization of the as-prepared nanocrystalline powder was carried out by different techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM) and Raman spectroscopy.",
