Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (CS-NCs) possess compelling benefits of low-cost,
large-scale solution processing, and tunable optoelectronic properties through controlled …

Gas sensors have become increasingly significant because of the rapid development in
electronic devices that are applied in detecting noxious gases. Adjusting the crystal phase …

Rutile titanium dioxide (TiO 2) is regarded as one of the most promising electrode
candidates for various rechargeable ion batteries applied in large-scale energy storage …

The so-called “nanorutile TiO 2 high performance anode material” is somewhat misleading.
Below 1.2 V, rutile undergoes an irreversible phase transformation into disordered rock salt …

Nucleation phenomena are of critical importance in numerous areas of science and
everyday life. For decades the prevailing models to explain nucleation have been based on …

Pure rutile phase of TiO 2 (R-TiO 2) nanocrystals were synthesized through a low
temperature sol-gel synthesis route by tuning the chemical process. This modified process …

Hydrogen spillover can assist the introduction of defects such as Ti3+ and concomitant
oxygen vacancies (VO) in a TiO2 crystal, thereby inducing a new level below the conduction …

Photocatalytic degradation of hazardous Methylene blue (MB) attracts greater concern as it
is the dominant effluent of textile industry that is mixing with the ground water resources. In …

We demonstrate a facile selective synthesis of phase-pure anatase, rutile, and brookite
nanocrystal polymorphs of titania (TiO2) using a benign hydrothermal treatment of an …

Nano-sized particles of rutile TiO2 is a promising material for cheap high-capacity anodes
for Li-ion batteries. It is well-known that rutile undergoes an irreversible order–disorder …
