Description

Application

Titanium ethoxide is used widely as a precursor for the synthesis of Ti⁴⁺ ions titania nanoparticles by various techniques such as :

• in the sol-gel synthesis of free-standing ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate nanoparticles
• spherical titania cores, produced either by hydrolysis of Ti(IV) ethoxide droplets in contact with water vapor or
• by preadsorption of the titanium alkoxides into/onto the clay mineral platelets and their subsequent hydrolysis and calcination.
