Abstract:Herein, TiO 2 , La-added, and Fe-added TiO 2 coatings are synthesized by sol-gel spin coating using acid catalyst-free titania precursors, and their microstructural and optical characteristics are studied. The possible reaction mechanism for synthesizing TiO 2 -based coatings using catalyst-free precursor is presented and correlated to their microstructural characteristic. TiO 2 coatings are developed and found to be anatase in phases having submicron morphological features. The anatase composition of TiO 2 co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
