The effect of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), and D-fructose additives on the growth of BaTiO3 particles by aqueous synthesis is studied. Through different mechanisms, all the tested additives influenced the growth of BaTiO3. For high concentrations, PAA adsorbed on specific crystallographic faces changing...

Titanate(1-) complexes Na[(THF)(kappa1-O-bdbpzp)TiCl4] (1) and Na[(THF)(kappa1-O-bdmpzp)TiCl4] (2) and titanate(2-) complexes [Na(THF)]2[(kappa1-O-bdbpzp)2TiCl4] (4) and [Na(THF)]2[(kappa1-O-bdmpzp)2TiCl4] (5) were obtained in good yield from reaction of Na[bdbpzp] or Na[bdmpzp] (sodium salt of 1,3-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazol-1yl)propan-2-ol or 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1yl)propan-2-ol) with...

Sodium titanate formed on Ti metal by NaOH and heat treatments induces apatite formation on its surface in a body environment and bonds to living bone. These treatments have been applied to porous Ti metal in artificial hip joints, and have been used clinically in Japan since 2007. Calcium titanate formed on Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy by NaOH, CaCl2, heat, and water treatments induces apatite format...

A potentiometric sensor device based on screen-printed Nasicon films was investigated. In order to transfer the promising sensor concept of an open sodium titanate reference to thick film technology, "sodium-rich" and "sodium-poor" formulations were compared. While the "sodium-rich" composition was found to react with the ion conducting Nasicon during thermal treatment, the "sodium-poor" refere...

Various types of sodium and potassium titanate nanostructures (nanotubes, nanofibers, nanoribbons, nanwires) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM and TEM, as well BET and BJH methods. Adsorption of radiotracer 137Cs+ ions from aqueous solutions on synthesized titanate nanostructures was investigated in batch technique as a function of contact time, concentration of sodiu...

The bottleneck in the implementation of hybrid lithium-sodium-ion batteries is lack anode materials with a desired rate capability. Herein, we provide an in-depth examination Li-storage performance sodium titanate nanowires as negative electrodes Li,Na-ion batteries. Titanate were prepared by simple and reproducible hydrothermal method. At low reaction pressure, well-isolated are formed, while ...

A silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-filled hydrogen titanate nanotube layer was synthesized in situ on a metallic titanium substrate. In the synthesis approach, a layer of sodium titanate nanotubes is first prepared on the titanium surface by using a hydrothermal method. Silver nitrate solution is absorbed into the nanotube channels by immersing a dried nanotube layer in silver nitrate solution. Final...
