Titania structure

Thermal desorption spectra of CO2 from a titania surface are shown in figure 2. It revealed two desorption peaks at temperature ca. 175 and 200 K. As reported, surface of titania have two structures which is similar to the results fomd by Tracy et al. [7]. Based on their study, it was confirmed that one peak at ca. 170 K was attributed to CO2 molecules bound to regular five-coordinate Ti site considered as the perfected titania structure. The second peak at ca. 200 K considered as the CO2 molecules bound to Ti referred to the...

Holland et al. extended the possible oxide structures to include not only silica, mesoporous silica, titania, zirconia, a yttria stabilized zirconia, and alumina but also oxides of W, Fe, V, and Sb [21]. These latter transition metals formed less ordered structures, containing areas of non-porous material. Different dilutions of alkoxide in alcohol resulted in various inorganic loadings, and moderate control in the wall thickness and window sizes between spherical voids [21 ]. SEM images of a series of macroporous titania structures obtained with different alkoxide dilutions in ethanol are shown in Fig. 3. Gundiah and Rao have also prepared macroporous materials of ternary mixed oxides, PdTiOj and Pb(ZrTi)03 [22]. 

In a similar way, the sensitization of tubular titania structures could be equally promising, since the cylindrical geometiy of the Ti02 core may allow for the generation of the charge carriers at a short distance from the electron collector.

Raman spectroscopy has provided information on catalytically active transition metal oxide species (e. g. V, Nb, Cr, Mo, W, and Re) present on the surface of different oxide supports (e.g. alumina, titania, zirconia, niobia, and silica). The structures of the surface metal oxide species were reflected in the terminal M=0 and bridging M-O-M vibrations. The location of the surface metal oxide species on the oxide supports was determined by monitoring the specific surface hydroxyls of the support that were being titrated. The surface coverage of the metal oxide species on the oxide supports could be quantitatively obtained, because at monolayer coverage all the reactive surface hydroxyls were titrated and additional metal oxide resulted in the formation of crystalline metal oxide particles. The nature of surface Lewis and Bronsted acid sites in supported metal oxide catalysts has been determined by adsorbing probe mole-... 

Using present ideas of glass structure, frits can be formulated to have maximum durability. Zirconia enamels have a lower than optimum acid resistance, but titania enamels have superior durability at low pH values. Encouraging crystallisation in the enamel enhances mechanical strength and therefore chemical resistance by reducing the incidence of damage sites which act as foci for attack. The addition of an extra (clear) coat on to the top most coat of enamel gives superior chemical resistance".

Nanocrystals titania was prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction result is shown in Figure 1, all samples were anatase phase. Based on Sherrer s equation, these samples had crystallite sizes about 7 nm. From XRD results, it indicated that titania samples showed the similar of crystallinity because the same ordering in the structure of titania particles make the same intensity of XRD peaks. 

Titania photocatalyst is used for air and water purification, photo-splitting of water to produce hydrogen, odor control and disinfectant. Crystal structure and crystallite size of titania particles are one of the most important factors that affect on the photoactivity. Photoactivity of anatase is higher than that of rutile, and increases with crystallite size [1]. Therefore, to increase photoactivity, it is desirable to find a route for the synthrais of the pure anatase titania with large crystallite size. 

In this work, flame spray pyrolysis was applied to the synthesis of titania particles to control the crystal structure and crystallite size and compared with the particle prepared by the conventional spray pyrolysis...

An interesting recent example of successful application of the SSG process combined with ensuing supercritical drying is the design of titania-silica mixed oxides for the epoxidation of bulky olefins [16-18]. This example will be used to illustrate the opportunities the combined use of SSG and SCD provide for tailoring the chemical and structural properties of mixed oxides.

Lanthanides in combination with transition metals have been shown to have a positive effect in promoting heterogeneous catalytic reactions. The bimetallic Yb—Pd catalyst obtained from the precursor (pMF)i0Yb2 Pd(CN)4]3 K on a titania surface offers improved performance over a palladium-only catalyst for the reduction of NO by CH4 in the presence of 02.99 100 The structure, shown in Figure 6, consists of two inverted parallel zigzag chains that are connected through the lanthanide atoms by trans-bridging [Pd(CN)4]2- anions.101...
