Conductivities of Titanium Dioxide Obtained via the Sol-Gel Method

Abstract:

Titanium dioxide powders were synthesized via a sol-gel method using titanium nitride as the precursor. The structure and morphology of the synthesized powders were investigated and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results indicate that pure single phase titanium dioxide of rutile structure had been obtained. It was also revealed that annealing temperature plays an important role in the formation of single phase titanium dioxide powders. Increasing heat treatments also modified the shape and surface morphology from chunks and rock-like morphology to a mixture of flaky aggregates. Conductivity studies using a.c. impedance technique was used. The conductivity of the sample annealed at 400 °C is 89 % higher than that annealed at 800 °C and attributed to the phase and morphology of the samples.
