Synthesis and Growth Mechanism of Net-like Titanate Nanowire Films via Low-temperature and Low-alkali-concentration Route

Abstract: Net-like titanate nanowire films can be grown on Ti substrates by non-hydrothermal treatment of Ti foils in alkali-H2O2 aqueous solutions with a low alkali concentration of 2 M at 60-80℃. The growth mechanism of such films has been investigated by identifying the role of both H2O2 and alkali in the nanowire formation and capturing the film morphology at early growth stages. It is found that the presence of H2O2 is necessary for the nanowire growth, and sufficient amount of H2O2 is needed to produce well-shaped… Show more

“…Sample (e) was just a large chunk and its surface was smooth. The titanate sheets could split into nanowires by prolonging the time of Ti foils treated in mixed solution of NaOH and H 2 O 2 and then the nanowire layers formed with longer time, finally the netlike structure could be constructed [25]. The morphology change of sample (c) to that of sample (a) was in keeping with the formation of titanate nanowires from the sheets structure.…”

“…The dissolved Ti­(IV) nucleates and grows into lamellar sodium titanate.The continuous dissolution of titania provides sufficient dissolved Ti­(IV) and thus the nanosheets grows. The nanosheets will bend and scroll into nanotubes after these nanosheets reach a certain size, because of mechanical tensions or the asymmetrical chemical environment . Lu et al exhibited that the layered sodium titanates are formed by occurring the rapid nanoparticle coalescing process at the early stages of the hydrothermal reaction .…”

“…The nanosheets will bend and scroll into nanotubes after these nanosheets reach a certain size, because of mechanical tensions or the asymmetrical chemical environment. 70 Lu et al exhibited that the layered sodium titanates are formed by occurring the rapid nanoparticle coalescing process at the early stages of the hydrothermal reaction. 71 During this process, the smaller nanoparticles aggregate into larger powders mainly by the oriented attachment (OA) mechanism.…”
