Abstract
A successful electrophoretic deposition (EPD) markedly depends on the stability of the suspension. In this study the role of Triethanolamine (TEA) as a stabilizer in EPD of thick films of TiTe3O8 is presented. TiTe3O8 powders were synthesized via a conventional solid-state-reaction method and dispersed in acetone with and without TEA. The stability of the suspensions was addressed by zeta-potential, UV light and FTIR measurements. The specific adsorption of TEA to TiTe3O8 particles results in a high zeta potential and improved stability of the suspensions, allowing the preparation of high quality TiTe3O8 thick films on Pt coated Si substrates. TiTe3O8 films sintered at 700 oC are dense and homogeneous.
