Synthesis of Oriented Titania Film by Intercalaion Process

Abstract

Titania ceramic film was successfully prepared from sodium titanate powder by the intercalation of alkyl amine. Highly dispersed titanate plates were deposited on a substrate with a preferred orientation. The effect of heat-treatment on the phase development of titania was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy and XRD. It was confirmed that the bronze type titania film prepared on a substrate kept its preferred orientation after heating at 550°C.
