Herein a facile hydrothermal approach is used to construct carbon coated TiO 2 nanoparticles employing dextrose as the source of carbon. The procedure is operated at a low temperature of 200°C. Fourier infrared spectroscopy demonstrated the successful coating of carbon on TiO 2 nanoparticles. The phase composition of TiO 2 and carbon coated TiO 2 nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction and the surface morphology was analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The existence of carbon coating on TiO 2 nanoparticles was revealed by thermogravimetric analysis through different thermograms exhibited for TiO 2 and carbon coated TiO 2 nanoparticles. The reported method offers a simple and efficient approach for production of carbon coated TiO 2 nanoparticles.
