Benzyl Alcohol and Titanium TetrachlorideA Versatile Reaction System for the Nonaqueous and Low-Temperature Preparation of Crystalline and Luminescent Titania Nanoparticles
Abstract
The reaction between TiCl 4 and benzyl alcohol is a simple and nonaqueous procedure for the synthesis of highly crystalline titania nanoparticles at temperatures as low as 40 °C. XRD measurements prove the exclusive presence of the anatase phase. The particle growth depends strongly on temperature so that with the appropriate thermal conditions the particle size can be selectively adjusted in the range of 4−8 nm. Fine-tuning of the particle size is possible by a proper choice of the relative amounts of benzyl alcohol and titanium tetrachloride. Lowering the titanium tetrachloride concentration leads to a considerable decrease of particle size. BET measurements show particularly high surface areas, up to 345 m 2 /g for the smallest particles and 115 m 2 /g for the calcined material. TEM investigations reveal that the nanoparticles are nearly uniform in size and shape. The as-synthesized particles display only minor agglomeration, whereas the calcined material consists of completely nonagglomerated particles, with diameters ranging from 13 to 20 nm. The smallest particles are soluble in a THF/trioctylphosphine mixture that luminesces (425 nm) upon UV irradiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
