Thermally stimulated transformations in brookite-containing TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanopowders produced by the hydrolysis of TiCl<Subscript>4</Subscript>

TiO₂ nanopowder is produced by the low-temperature hydrolysis of TiCl₄. The phase composition of the sample is found to form at a hydrolysis temperature of 30–38°C. Low-temperature annealing (up to 440°C) increases the degree of crystallinity of the phases present in the sample (anatase, brookite) and only weakly affects their ratio. At 500°C, the sample consists of three phases: rutile is detected apart from anatase and brookite. Brookite begins to fail at 600°C; at 700°C, crystalline brookite fails completely.     

Crystallographic shear of polymorphic TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanocondensates with enhanced Cr<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> dissolution via pulsed laser ablation

TiO₂ nanoparticles with enhanced solid solution of Cr up to 16 wt% in polymorphs of rutile, anatase, brookite, α-PbO₂-type, and occasionally baddeleyite-type were synthesized via pulse laser ablation on ceramic TiO₂ target dissolved with Cr₂O₃ or clamped Cr/Ti plates in air. Analytical electron microscopic observations indicated these nanocondensates have prevalent crystallographic shear (CS) along specific planes to form superstructures. The rutile type typically shows (100) and (010) CS besides the conventional ones rotating about the [111] zone axis as reported for ambient samples. The CS planes are parallel to (001) for anatase, (001) and ([`1] \overline{1} 10) for brookite, whereas (001) and {1[`3] \overline{3} 1} for the α-PbO₂-type TiO₂ with varied extent of Cr dissolution. Surface modification, as a result of Cr dissolution and/or internal stress, was observed for all the polymorphs.     

Raman and XRD study on brookite–anatase coexistence in cathodic electrosynthesized titania

Among the many methods developed for the synthesis of titanium dioxide, cathodic electrosynthesis has not received much attention because the resulting amorphous oxy‐hydroxide matrix demands a further thermal annealing step to be transformed into crystalline titania. However, the possibility of filling deep recessed templates by the control of the solid–liquid interface makes it a potentially suitable technique for the fabrication of porous scaffolds for photovoltaics and photocatalysis. Furthermore, a careful control of the crystallization process enables the growth of larger grains with lower density of grain boundaries, which act as electron traps that slow down electronic transport and promote charge recombination. In this report, well crystallized titania deposits were obtained by thermal annealing of amorphous deposits fabricated by cathodically assisted electrosynthesis on indium‐tin oxide (ITO)substrates. The combined use of Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction showed that the crystallization process is more intricate than previously assumed. It is shown that the amorphous matrix evolves into a rutile‐free mixture of brookite and anatase at temperatures as low as 200 °C that persists up to 800 °C, when pure anatase dominates. The amount of brookite in the brookite–anatase mixture reaches a maximum at 400 °C. This very simple method for obtaining a brookite–anatase mixture and the ability to tune their proportions by thermal annealing is a promising alternative whose potential for solar cells and photocatalysis deserves a careful evaluation.

Structural study of TiO2 thin films by micro-Raman spectroscopy

The Raman spectroscopy method was used for structural characterization of TiO₂ thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on fused silica and single-crystal silicon and sapphire substrates. Using ALD, anatase thin films were grown on silica and silicon substrates at temperatures 125–425 °C. At higher deposition temperatures, mixed anatase and rutile phases grew on these substrates. Post-growth annealing resulted in anatase-to-rutile phase transitions at 750 °C in the case of pure anatase films. The films that contained chlorine residues and were amorphous in their as-grown stage transformed into anatase phase at 400 °C and retained this phase even after annealing at 900 °C. On single crystal sapphire substrates, phase-pure rutile films were obtained by ALD at 425 °C and higher temperatures without additional annealing. Thin films that predominantly contained brookite phase were grown by PLD on silica substrates using rutile as a starting material.     

Observation of carbon‐facilitated phase transformation of titanium dioxide forming mixed‐phase titania by confocal Raman microscopy

Confocal Raman microscopy, a relatively new and advanced technique, is found to be suitable for imaging the chemical morphology below the submicrometer scale. It has been employed to probe the phase transformation of carbon‐containing titania (TiO₂) nanopowder and titania thin film subjected to laser annealing. The observation of phase transformation from the anatase phase to the rutile phase at high laser power annealing is attributed to carbon inclusion inside or on the surface of titania. Upon annealing, carbon could react with the oxygen of titania and create oxygen vacancies favoring the transformation from the anatase to the rutile phase. This study provides evidence for the carbon‐assisted phase transformation for creating carbon‐containing mixed‐phase titanium dioxide by laser annealing. We explicitly focus on the presence of carbon in the phase transformation of TiO₂ using confocal Raman microscopy. In all of the investigated samples, mixed anatase/rutile phases with carbon specifically was found at the rutile site. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) studies have been performed in addition to Raman mapping to verify the mixed‐phase titania formation.

Photocatalytic activity of dc magnetron sputter deposited amorphous TiO2 thin films

For photocatalytic thin film applications TiO₂ is one of the most important materials. The most studied TiO₂ crystal phase is anatase, though also rutile and brookite show good photoactivity. Usually anatase or a mixture of rutile and anatase is applied for powder or thin film catalysts. It has been claimed that amorphous films do not exhibit any or only a very low photocatalytic activity.We have deposited amorphous thin films by dc magnetron sputtering from sub-stoichiometric TiO_2−x targets. The coatings are transparent and show a photocatalytic activity half of that of a thin layer of spin-coated reference photocatalyst powder. Annealing the thin films to yield anatase crystallization more than doubles their photocatalytic activity. At the same film thickness these thin films show the same activity as a commercially available photocatalytic coating.The dependence of the photocatalytic activity on deposition parameters like gas pressure and sputter power is discussed. A decrease in film density, as deduced from the refractive index and the microstructure, resulted in an increase in photocatalytic activity. Film thickness has a marked influence on the photocatalytic activity, showing a strong increase up to 300-400 nm, followed by a much shallower slope.     

The optical absorption edge of brookite TiO2

The optical absorption edge of brookite TiO₂ was measured at room temperature, using natural crystals. The measurements extend up to 3.54 eV in photon energy and 2000 cm⁻¹ in absorption coefficient. The observed absorption edge is broad and extends throughout the visible, quite different from the steep edges of rutile and anatase. No evidence of a direct gap is seen in the range measured. The spectral dependence of the absorption strongly suggests that the brookite form of TiO₂ is an indirect-gap semiconductor with a bandgap of about 1.9 eV.
