The paper presents the process of sol-gel synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles, the peculiarities of the influence of component composition (titanium precursor content, solvent and stabilizer − surfactant) on the properties of sol and powder obtained on its basis. As a result of the study, the nature of the influence of the type and content of the surfactant in the solution of tetrabutoxytitanium in ethanol on the size of the synthesized particles of titanium dioxide was revealed. The optimal composition of the reaction mixture of TiO–R sol was obtained and the optimal ratio of tetrabutoxytitanium and ethyl alcohol was revealed using which a material with a high content of nanosized titanium dioxide was obtained.

Metal oxide titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by using a simple and economical sol-gel method. The prepared nanoparticles were used to evaluate methylene blue dye degradation and as catalysts in the oxidation of benzaldehyde. The crystallite size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticle was 18.3 nm, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The spherical morphology was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the elemental composition of the nanoparticle was found by energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis. The anatase form of the nanoparticle was confirmed by the bandgap 3.2 eV, which was measured using UV–DRS analysis. The bond between metal and oxygen was confirmed by the peaks at 485 and 606 cm–1 analyzed by Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR). The efficiency of the catalyst in dye degradation was 60.08, 68.38, and 80.89% with respect to 50, 75, and 100 mg catalyst weight. The yield % of benzoic acid was 94%, and the reduction efficiency against 4-nitrophenol was 98.44%.
