有机溶液中电化学制备纳米MgTiO3

In a cell without separating the cathode and anode spaces, the precursor MgTi(OCH₂CH₃)_(6-y)(acac)_y of the mixed oxide MgTiO₃ was directly synthesized by electrochemical dissolution of titanium for 4 hours and then of magnesium for 1 hour 40 minutes at the current of 0.2 A in ethanol and acetyl-acetone solution. The nano- MgTiO₃ powder was prepared by a direct sol-gel process of the electrolyte solution under pH≈8.5 followed by washing, drying in vacuum for 24 h, and calcination at 500 ℃ for 2 h. IR and Raman spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM were used to investigate the structure of nano-MgTiO₃ and its precursor. The result suggested that it was more appropriate to control the temperature between 35～40 ℃ and the concentration of conductive additive (Bu₄N)Br at 0.04 mol·L^-1. The xerogel with an average particle size of 12 nm and the nano-MgTiO₃ of 20 nm was thus obtained in a high purity.
