Molecular NO(2) induced K(2)Ti(2)O(5)-K(2)Ti(6)O(13) structure switching in the dry gas phase: lattice potassium reactivity.
A very interesting structure switching phenomenon between K(2)Ti(2)O(5) and K(2)Ti(6)O(13) caused by gas phase molecular NO(2) adsorption and desorption at 500-600 degrees C is revealed, during which NO(2) is adsorbed on the lattice K(+) ion sites to form KNO(3) and the loss of K causes the remainder to regroup into nano-sized K(2)Ti(6)O(13), with a lower K/Ti value.
