Titanium dioxide Nano Needles
NCL’s technology involves a one-step electrochemical process for the synthesis of pure rutile Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoneedles, with high aspect ratio, at room temperature. Nanoneedles with aspect ratio of =10 can be produced with very good control over the morphology of the resulting TiO2.
Sector: Biotechnology
Country: India
Area of Application: Rutile TiO2 is widely used as/in · UV protecting agent · In optical coatings · Beam splitters · Anti-reflection coating · Humidity sensor · High-temperature oxygen sensor · Photo-catalyst · Biomedicine
Keywords: Nanoneedles, Rutile Titanium dioxide, TiO2, one-step electrochemical process, morphology control, photocatalyst, paints, coating
Advantages: · Less energy intensive (process carried out at room temperature) · Ability to synthesize phase-pure rutile TiO2 · Reduced time for synthesis (as this process avoids any formation of intermediate amorphous powder or anatase phase and hence doesn’t need heat treatment to from rutile TiO2) · Easier, cheaper, quicker process (when compared to previous methods of synthesis)
