Low temperature process for the synthesis of rutile phase titania through vapor phase hydrolysis

Abstract

Studies the low temperature process for the synthesis of rutile phase titania through vapor phase hydrolysis. Details of the major finding in the study; Proposal of a possible mechanism based on hydrolysis reaction and the formation of oxo brides for the production of titanium dioxide by vapor phase hydrolysis of titanium tetra chloride; Evidence of the important role played by the dopant in terms of lowering the transition temperature.
