HYSYCVD Synthesis of 1D Nanostructures of TiO2

In this work, a synthesis route for 1D nanostructures (nanoribbons and nanofibers) of titanium oxide via hybrid precursor systems chemical vapor deposition (HYSYCVD) is proposed. The route is based on the thermal decomposition of K2TiF6 (solid precursor) in controlled air atmosphere. Synthesized TiO2 corresponds to 1D crystalline nanostructures of Anatase, which can find potential applications in the development of thin-film transistor, dye-sensitized solar cells, and dosimeters. The versatility for synthesizing 1D TiO2 nanostructures by HYSYCVD suggests the potential of the proposed route as economic and large-scale production technique.
