Formation and Structural Characterization of Novel K2Ti6O13 Nanobelts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Novel K2Ti6O13 nanobelts, as one-dimensional nanomaterials, were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method at 200°C for 12h, using TiO2 nanoparticles and KOH aqueous as raw materials. The crystal structure and morphology of K2Ti6O13 nanobelts were characterized by a series of methods including XRD, FESEM, EDS, TEM and HRTEM. The results indicated that K2Ti6O13 nanobelts synthesized were single crystals. The typical width is about 5-10nm and the length is in the range of from hundreds of nanometers up to tens of micrometers. The novel structure exhibits excellent flexibility. From the experimental results, it can be concluded that well crystallized and single phase K2Ti6O13 can be obtained under the certain temperature and KOH concentration. The size of TiO2 nanoparticles has an effect on the hydrothermal reaction rate and morphology control of the products.
