Abstract: Nanocrystalline TiO2 anatase thin films have been prepared from alkoxide solution via sol-gel method. The effects of two protic solvents of methanol and ethanol of TiO2 thin films were ...

The anatase found at Pitfield has a very high TiO2 content and is free of deleterious impurities, making it a desirable feedstock for processing to TiO2 pigment. Anatase can be chlorinated to produce ...

The prototypical photocatalyst TiO2 exists in different polymorphs, the most common forms are the anatase- and rutile-crystal structures. Generally, anatase is more active than rutile, but no ...

In 1991, Bickley et al. proposed a synergetic effect between anatase and rutile in Degussa P25. Since then, there has been an intensive debate about the correctness of this proposal, the origin of the ...

TiO2 is the most promising semiconductor for photocatalytic splitting of water for hydrogen and degradation of pollutants. The highly photocatalytic active form is its mixed phase of two polymorphs ...

To gain an atomic-level understanding of the relationship among the surface structure, the interfacial interaction, and the water oxidation activity on TiO 2, we studied the adsorption of water and ...
