convenient and fast microwave synthesis of gold-doped titanium dioxide materials was\ndeveloped with the aid of commercially available and common cyclodextrin derivatives, acting both\nas reducing and stabilizing agents. Anatase titanium oxide was synthesized from titanium chloride\nby microwave heating without calcination. Then, the resulting titanium oxide was decorated by\ngold nanoparticles thanks to a microwave-assisted reduction of HAuCl4 by cyclodextrin in alkaline\nconditions. The materials were fully characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD),\nTransmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements, while the\nmetal content was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy.........
