Synthesis of two-component TiO2-ZnO nanoparticles

In this study, two-component TiO2-ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized in two steps by the arc-discharge method. Titanium and zinc electrodes were used to produce these nanostructures. The optical and the .crystalline properties of nanoparticales were investigated using UV–Vis spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the nanoparticles were mostly crystallized with hexagonal structure and rutile
