Panoscopic Assembling of Ceramic Materials for High Performance UV-Ray Shielding Application

Abstract

The hybrid materials consisting of plate-like potassium lithium titanate (K0.81Li0.27Ti1.73O4) micro particles coated with calcia-doped ceria (Ce0.8Ca0.2O1.8) nano particles were prepared by the co-precipitation method and sol-gel method. Broad-spectrum UV-shielding composite materials with good comfort and low oxidation catalytic activity were successfully synthesized. The comfort when applied on skin and UV-shielding ability of the composites prepared by the sol-gel method were superior to those by the co-precipitation method.
