Research on the Thickness and Microstructure of Plate-like TiO2 by the Nanosheet-Seeding Growth Technique

The nanosheet-seeding growth (NSG) technique is an interesting synthesis method for preparing two-dimensional (2D) materials by employing ultrathin nanosheets as templates. In this work, the of 2D TiO2 nanoplates using Ti0.87O2 via NSG process thoroughly studied to achieve a better understanding process. influence various conditions on morphology and phase composition has been carefully examined. study time reveals that grows in Stranski–Krastanov mode templates follows second-order kinetics. It also found concentration precursors are effective parameters controlling thickness nanoplates. sample changes from anatase NH4TiOF3 flake disk with increase precursor concentration. temperature large but little effect composition. However, color sample, high enlarges light absorption range sample.
