Anatase-assisted growth of nanoscale crystalline brookite film and rutile rods on SiO2/Si substrate in a single hydrothermal process

Abstract

In a single hydrothermal reaction in Ti–HCl solution at 120 °C/140 °C, 50 to 180 nm thick brookite layers and, 1 to 4.5 µm long rutile rods were grown on anatase film with SiO2/Si substrate, and confirmed by SEM, TEM, XRD and Raman measurements. The growth mechanism is correlated with Cl/Ti ratio and evaporation of HCl from solution.
