Characterizing an Alleged New Phase of Titanium Dioxide
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to a variety of potential scientific and industrial applications, a new phase of titanium dioxide (TiO2) would be very exciting. I have investigated a powder sample, which based on preliminary chemical and structural analyses, appeared to be such a new phase. Through subsequent high-resolution x-ray powder diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and electron diffraction measurements, the sample has been identified as a dual-phase mixture of catalogued Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13.

Synthesis of Nano-Sized Titania Particles by Hydrolysis of Titanium Tetrachloride
Nano-sized titanium dioxide TiO2 powder was successfully prepared from its precursor titanium (IV) chloride by a simple and new wet chemical method. TiCl4 were used as precursor in hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 and ethanol. This solution was then peptized using nitric acid and heated under reflux at 80°C. Their physico-chemical properties were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (T...
