Titanium dioxide (dichloride titanium oxide), also known as sodium titanium (IV) chloride (sodium titanate) or sodium titanate chloride, is an inorganic compound.
Nature:
titanium dioxide is a white crystalline solid, its chemical formula is Na2TiO3Cl2. It is a relatively stable compound and is not easy to decompose under normal temperature and pressure. It has high melting point, high thermal stability and chemical resistance.
Use:
Titanium dioxide dichloride has multiple uses in many fields. These include:
1. As a catalyst: titanium dioxide is often used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, especially in organic synthesis.
2. As a photocatalyst: It can absorb light energy and catalyze chemical reactions, and is widely used in the field of environmental protection, such as water treatment and photocatalytic sterilization.
3. Used in battery materials: Titanium dioxide dichloride has excellent conductivity and electrochemical properties, and can be used to make lithium-ion batteries and other battery materials.
Method:
There are many preparation methods of titanium dioxide chloride, common methods include:
1. ammonium titanate chloride method: by reacting ammonium titanate chloride with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, sodium chloride or potassium chloride and titanium dioxide are generated.
2. solution method: with chlorinated titanic acid solution and sodium chloride or potassium chloride reaction, under the appropriate conditions to obtain titanium dioxide two chloride crystallization.
Safety Information:
Although titanium dioxide has high thermal stability, it is also a toxic substance and should be used with care. During operation, avoid inhaling its dust or contact with skin. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid contact with strong acids or strong oxidants to avoid dangerous reactions. To ensure safety, follow proper laboratory practices and personal protective measures. For any specific questions regarding the use of titanium dioxide dichloride, it is recommended to consult a chemist or the relevant laboratory.
