Контролируемое формирование наноструктур TiO-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=--рутила с заданной морфологией методом термического оксидирования титана

Abstract

Titanium dioxide nanostructures are formed by a simple one-stage method of thermal oxidation of titanium in the temperature range of 700 - 900 °C. The structures were studied by high-resolution electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is shown that, depending on the temperature, nanostructures in the form of crystallites, granules, and dendrites of TiO2-rutile are formed on the surface of metallic titanium. The proposed method is promising for the large-scale creation of advanced functionalized TiO2 surfaces applicable in catalysis and sensorics.
