Comparative Analysis of Sodium Hexa-titanate (Na₂Ti₆O₁₃) & Sodium-Potassium Hexa-titanate (Na_1.5K_0.5Ti₆O₁₃)

Abstract

The present paper discusses the synthesis and characterization of Sodium Hexatitanate (NHT) and Sodium-Potassium Hexa-titanate (NKHT) by solid state reaction method. The phase of the synthesized material was confirmed by XRD and the particle size has been calculated using Debye-Scherrer relation. Morphology of the surface and dimensions of the crystals have been analysed using FE-SEM analysis at different magnification. EDS analysis has also been done for elemental analysis of Sodium Hexa-titanate and Sodium Potassium Hexa-titanate. IR spectra has been recorded for getting various vibration modes of the samples.

“…Kikkawa et al, reported hydrolysis and thermolysis of the alkali titanates, Fujishiro et al, investigated cation exchange property of alkali titanates as these materials are capable in protecting the environment from radioactive wastes, the alkali titanates can also be used as capacitors, electrolyte for fuel cell, biosensors as well as dielectric sensors [9][10][11][12] [15][16][17][18][19] . Alkali titanates with tunnel and layered structure have been synthesized by various research groups including our group [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] .…”
