Lattice Strain Directed Synthesis of Anatase TiO_2 Single-Crystal Microplatelet Arrays on α-MoO_3 (010) Template

摘要

A versatile synthetic process for anatase TiO_2 microplatelet arrays has been investigated by utilizing lattice mismatches between the overlayer and the template ((010) surface of α-MoO3_3). Several controlling parameters, such as organic modifiers and reactant concentrations, have also been identified for the synthesis of oriented anatase TiO_2 microplatelets and nanowires. The method developed in this work should be applicable to other oxide systems via investigating the interplay between structural resemblance and lattice mismatch.
