Abstract

Micro-Raman analysis was used to study the structure of TiO2 powders produced at low (260 °C) and high (600–900 °C) temperatures by vapor hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP). Spatial inhomogeneity was discovered after the amorphous TiO2 powders produced at low temperature were calcined at 700, 800, and 900 °C for 3 h. The TiO2 powders produced at high temperatures (from 600 to 900 °C) were found to be spatially homogeneous and predominately anatase in structure. Small amounts of rutile and brookite are found for powders produced at 700, 800, and 900 °C after calcination at 600 °C for 3 h. The rutile and brookite impurities are believed to be concentrated on the surface of anatase based on a comparison of results of Raman and x-ray diffraction studies.
