Towards Iron-Titanium Oxide Nanostructures from Ecuadorian Black Mineral Sands

Accelerated synthesis of titanium oxide nanostructures using microfluidic chips.

The synthesis of one-dimensional titanium oxide nanostructures has been accelerated by performing the reaction in a microfluidic environment as opposed to a classical batch process.

Tunable Nanostructures and Crystal Structures in Titanium Oxide Films

Controllable nanostructures in spin coated titanium oxide (TiO(2)) films have been achieved by a very simple means, through change of post deposition annealing temperature. Electron beam imaging and reciprocal space analysis revealed as-deposited TiO(2) films to be characterized by a dominant anatase phase which converts to the rutile form at 600 degrees C and reverts to the anatase modificatio...

Fabrication of Iron (iii) Oxide Nanostructures by Potentiostatic Anodization

Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) is an excellent material for absorbing visible light from the solar spectrum because of its suitable band gap. However, due to low mobility and high bulk carrier recombination, the photoconversion efficiency of iron (III) oxide has been proven to be very poor. Fabrication of nanostructured iron oxide can potentially compensate for the material’s poor properties. In this...

Study of the Properties of Iron Oxide Nanostructures

Iron oxides exist in a rich variety of structures and occur in a great variety of settings, from geological to nanoscale technological applications. Ferrous and ferric iron oxides present seven crystalline phases, the more common are α-Fe2O3 (hematite), γ-Fe2O3 (maghemite), Fe3O4 (magnetite) and Fe1-xO (wustite); the less commonly found are the βand ε-Fe2O3 phases and the low-temperature rhombo...
