In this work, a synthetic route was developed for the preparation of SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposites by the sol-gel process, with silicon and titanium ratios of 80:20, 70:30 and 55:45. The nanocomposites were characterised using chemical analysis, SEM, EDS, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, specific surface area measurements and the diffuse reflectance technique. Using diffuse reflectance it was possible to determine the gap energy band and by using mathematical models it was possible to correlate the measured gap energy and make an approximate determination of the nanocrystallite size. The study of the photo...
