M. Yanagisawa et T. Sato, Synthesis and photocatalytic properties of titania pillared hydrogen tetratitanate using titanyl acylate precursor, INT J INORG, 3(2), 2001, pp. 157-160
Titania pillared H2Ti4O9 has been synthesized by the reaction of H2Ti4O9 wi
th a titanyl acylate complex followed by UV irradiation. The incorporation
of TiO2 was confirmed by powder. X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse re
flectance spectroscopy and N-2 adsorption measurement. The photocatalytic a
ctivity of the titania pillared H2Ti4O9 prepared using the titanyl acylate
precursor was twice larger than that fabricated using a titania sol solutio
n and H2Ti4O9. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
