Evidence from HRTEM image processing, XRD and EDS on nanocrystalline iron-doped titanium oxide powders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), synthesised by modified sol-gel method, by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), high-resolution electron microscope (HRTEM), HRTEM image processing, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and Xray diffraction(XRD), XRD of as prepared sample showed very broad diffraction maxima of anatase as the dominant phase and an additional maxima ascribed to PEG.
