Facile preparation of controllable size monodisperse anatase titania nanoparticles.

Monodisperse anatase titania nanoparticles with controllable sizes (typically 10-300 nm) can be synthesized using an efficient and straightforward protocol via fine tuning of the ionic strength in the devised sol-gel methodology.
