Effects of reactor heat flux varying from 247 to 627 kJ/m^2 s, initial TiO2 number density from 2 × 10^20 to 1 × 10^21 m^ 3, and apparent residence time of TiO2 nanoparticles in reactor from 0.06 to 0.9 s, on particle morphology, phase composition, UV absorption and photoluminescence （PL） spectra are studied. The TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized, with mean size of 30-80 nm and futile mass fraction from 0.155 up to 0.575, exhibited a strong PL signal at the wavelength of 370-450 nm, with a wide peak signal at 400-420 nm, reflecting significant oxygen vacancies on the surface of the TiO2 nanoparticles.展开更多
