High-temperature stabilized anatase TiO2 from an aluminum-doped TiCl3 precursor.
The solid-state hydrolysis and air calcination of aluminum-doped TiCl3 leads to crystalline anatase TiO2 that is stable on heating to 1000 degrees C, in contrast to control studies with related AlCl3 and TiCl3 physical mixtures that produce rutile TiO2 under the same conditions.
