锐钛矿相纳米TiO2晶体生长动力学及生长过程控制

研究了采用溶胶-凝胶法经由前驱物钛酸四异丙酯水解制备纳米TiO2结构相变及锐钛矿晶体生长动力学过程. 研究结果表明,在酸性条件下水解,由于高压热处理温度的变化导致锐钛矿向金红石相的结构相变,锐钛矿相纳米TiO2生长活化能在250℃以下和以上分别为(15.8±4.5) kJ/mol和(80.2±1.0) kJ/mol;而在碱性条件下水解的活化能值为(3.5±0.4 kJ/mol. 在不发生结构相变的条件下,酸性水解条件下锐钛矿相纳米TiO2生长速率相比没有碱性条件下快,即表明在酸性条件下提高锐钛矿生长速率主要依靠提高温度来实现,而在碱性条件下,可以通过延长高压热处理时间使得晶体生长速率加快,该研究成果对实现锐钛矿相纳米TiO2晶体尺寸控制和将来批量化制备提供了理论和实验指导.

Raman study of phase transformation of TiO2 rutile single crystal irradiated by infrared femtosecond laser

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) rutile single crystal was irradiated by infrared femtosecond (fs) laser pulses with repetition rate of 250 kHz and phase transformation of rutile TiO₂ was observed. Micro-Raman spectra show that the intensity of E_g Raman vibrating mode of rutile phase increases and that of A_1g Raman vibrating mode decreases apparently within the ablation crater after fs laser irradiation. With increasing of irradiation time, the Raman vibrating modes of anatase phase emerged. Rutile phase of TiO₂ single crystal is partly transformed into anatase phase. The anatase phase content transformed from rutile phase increased to a constant with increasing of fs pulse laser irradiation time. The study indicates the more stable rutile phase is transformed into anatase phase by the high pressure produced by fs pulse laser irradiation.     

Silver-Doping Induced Lattice Distortion in TiO2 Nanoparticles

The Ag-doping effects on Ti02 nanoparticles are investigated by means of x-ray diffraction （XRD） and Raman scattering spectroscopy. XRD and Raman results indicate that Ag-doping stabilizes the rutile phase in TiO2. We find an Ag-doping induced lattice expansion in both anatase and rutile phases. The Ag-doping has different influences on the lattice distortion for anatase and rutile phases, that is, the e/a-value for the anatase phase decreases with 0.5% Ag-doping and then increases with 1~ Ag-doping while that for the rutile phase shows a gradual increase with increasing Ag-doping. We have ascribed the different variations of lattice distortion due to Ag-doping to the change of interracial interaction between the anatase and rutile phases induced by different Ag concentrations.     

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.

Fabrication and characterization of facing-target reactive sputtered polycrystalline TiO2 films

Polycrystalline TiO₂ films were fabricated using dc facing-target reactive sputtering at different sputtering pressures. The films deposited consist of pure anatase phase or a mixture of anatase and rutile and increasing rutile content to some extent deteriorates the crystallinity of the anatase. It was found that the plasma heating effect, which plays the role of substrate heating, is an important factor for the crystallinity of the films in the case of without substrate heating. The roughness of the films increases monotonically with the increase of the sputtering pressure, which can be ascribed to the decrease in the mobility of the impinging particles. UV-vis transmission measurements reveal that the pure anatase films have higher transmittance than those having mixed phases of anatase and rutile. The band gap value decreases from ∼3.35 to 3.29 eV owing to the increase in the fraction of rutile phase.     

Maintaining particle size in the transformation of anatase to rutile titania nanostructures

We study the temperature-dependent transformation of two distinctly synthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles from the anatase to the rutile phase. These studies are carried out over the temperature range extending from room temperature to an excess of 800 °C where the anatase to rutile conversion is found to occur. Results obtained for both a sol-gel-generated nanocolloid (3-20 nm) and a sol-gel-generated micelle nanostructure (∼40 nm) are evaluated. While the TiO₂ nanocolloid structures aggregate to form larger crystallites as a function of increasing temperature with sizes comparable to the sol-gel-generated micelle structures, the resulting anatase crystallites, which are of a diameter 40-50 nm, appear to transform to comparable or slightly smaller rutile structures at 800 °C. This is in contrast to the transformation to larger rutile structures, observed for larger anatase particles. The importance of kinetic effects is considered as it enhances the rate of anatase to rutile conversion. These characteristics are established using a combination of Raman spectroscopic, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The relative playoffs of the Raman and X-ray diffraction techniques are considered as they are used for the analysis of particles at the nanoscale, especially when phase transformations are evaluated.     

Phase transformation at the surface of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> single crystal irradiated by femtosecond laser pulse

Phase transformation of a titanium oxide crystal irradiated by a femtosecond laser from rutile to anatase was studied by Raman spectroscopy. In the case of the high temperature phase of TiO₂ single crystal rutile, irradiated by the 120 fs, 800 nm, 250 kHz femtosecond laser with an average power of 300 mW for a short time, the intensity of Raman active mode E_g (446 cm^-1) of TiO₂ would decrease, while that of A_1g (611 cm^-1) increased, which indicated the color-center-defect-cluster was formed. After the longer irradiation time (less than 600 s), four new Raman active modes would occur, so a part of rutile in the irradiated region was transformed into anatase phase. As the irradiation time increased, the component of anatase increased to a constant, while that of rutile decreased. By this means, we can selectively induce anatase on the rutile surface through controlling the femtosecond laser exposure region. We suggest that this technique can be applied to fabricate micro patterns of anatase. PACS 52.38.Dx; 36.20.Ng; 36.40.Ei; 42.62.-b; 42.65.Dr     

Investigation on SERS of different phase structure TiO2 nanoparticles

In this paper, anatase and rutile TiO₂ nanoparticles as well as their mixed crystal phase structure TiO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol‐hydrothermal method, and were served as active substrates for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) study. The results show that the 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid probe molecules exhibit different degree SERS enhancements on the surface of different phase structure TiO₂ nanoparticles. The mixed crystal structure TiO₂ with an appropriate proportion of anatase and rutile phase is favourable to SERS enhancement of adsorbed molecules. These are mainly attributed to the contributions of the TiO₂‐to‐molecule charge transfer mechanism and the mixed crystal effect. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
