Synthesis of structured titanium dioxide from carbonaceous templates

Titanium dioxide assemblages of various shapes (plaques, tubes) were synthesized by adsorption of a TiCl 4 solution in n-hexane on various carbonaceous substrates. A following hydrolysis led to the conversion of the chlorides into the oxide and the decomposition of the substrates. Nanoscaled TiO 2 p...

Summary:Titanium dioxide assemblages of various shapes (plaques, tubes) were synthesized by adsorption of a TiCl 4 solution in n-hexane on various carbonaceous substrates. A following hydrolysis led to the conversion of the chlorides into the oxide and the decomposition of the substrates. Nanoscaled TiO 2 particles were deposited on the whole surface of carbon fibers by a CVD process of respectively POCl 3 and TiCl 4, followed by controlled heating treatments. Synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and EDS microanalysis.
