Carbon-doped titanium dioxide (C-TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by conventional mild oxidation of precursor titanium carbide (TiC) at 350 °C for 2 to 50 hours and more aggressive oxidation at the higher temperature of 400 to 600 °C for 2 hours in air. XRD and TEM studies indicated the formatio...
