Continuous hydrothermal synthesis of extensive 2D sodium titanate (Na2Ti3O7) nano-sheets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel and rapid and continuous hydrothermal route to the synthesis of extensive ultra-thin 2D sodium titanate (Na(2)Ti(3)O(7)) nano-sheets using a superheated water flow at 450 degrees C and 24.1 MPa as a crystallizing medium is described. High resolution electron microscopy of the sheets revealed that they were a few layers thick and largely uncurled, highly crystalline despite their very short time under hydrothermal flow conditions. The sodium titanate sheets possessed excellent photocatalytic activity for decolourisation of methylene blue dye.

In this study, TiO2 based nanotubes and nanosheets were synthesized to be used as an adsorbent and support in various processes. As a starting material, sol-gel synthesized anatase and commercial anatase were used. TiO2 was converted to high surface area hydrogen titanate (H2Ti3O7) and sodium titanate (Na2Ti3O7) nanotubes and nanosheets under alkaline conditions with hydrothermal treatment. In ...

Biodegradable elastomeric materials are gaining extensive attention in the field of soft tissue engineering. Poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is a novel biocompatible elastomer in this scope. However this polymer has poor mechanical properties especially when the molar ratio of glycerol is higher than sebacic acid. Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3) is a biocompatible ceramic with some degr...
