The spherical titanium dioxide nanocrystals were successfully synthesized in a new system through a solvothermal method. Prolonged reaction time can contribute to the improvement of the morphology and self-assembly behavior of TiO2 nanocrystals. The central features of our approach are the use of rapid heating process and the use of both oleic acid and dodecylamine as two different capping surfactants to synthesize monodisperse TiO2 nanocrystals.The morphologies and self-assembly behavior of TiO2 nanocrystals are studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses
