The Synthesis And Characterization Of Group One Metal Titanates And Their Application In Photocatalysis

Group one metal titanates has been synthesized via hydrothermal method using group one metal hydroxides. The results show the formation of nanomaterials such as Li-TiO2200oC/12h nanobiscuits (NBs), Na-TiO2200oC/12h nanoribbons (NRs), K-TiO2200oC/12h nanowires (NWs) and Cs-TiO2200oC/12h nanospheres (...
