“…We prepared BF particles by the hydrothermal method [11][12][13]. The BF particles and titanium oxide nano-particles (TiO 2 , rutile-type structure, particle size of approximately 7 nm, Ishihara Sangyo Kaisya, Ltd.) were mixed with an organic binder, poly(vinyl butyral) (2 wt%), and ethanol, and TiO 2 /BF molar ratios were adjusted to 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00.…”
