Abstract
Cathodic electrosynthesis of nanocrystalline titania films and powders was performed via hydrolysis by electrogenerated base of TiCl4 salt d issolved in water or mixed water-methyl alcohol solvent in the presenc e of hydrogen peroxide. The electrosynthesis yield was studied under v arious experimental conditions. Obtained powders and films were charac terized by XRD, TG/ DTA, SEM, and Auger methods. A possible mechanism of electrosynthesis and the role of hydrogen peroxide are discussed. ( C) 1997 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
