Abstract

Chemical Vapor Synthesis (CVS) is the conversion of molecular species into nanocrystalline particles by chemical reactions in a gas flow reactor. Pure anatase nanoparticles are generated in a hot wall reactor from titanium isopropoxide using different time-temperature-profiles. The time-temperature-profile (T(t)-profile) in the gas phase of the reactor has a profound influence on the particle characteristics such as particle microstructure and surface chemistry and, therefore, on the quality of the powder consisting of nanocrystalline particles. In this study a simple reaction-coagulation-sintering model (CVSSIN) was used to predict influence of the T(t)-profile on the powder characteristics. The as-synthesized anatase powders show a very high degree of crystallinity, primary particle of about 10 nm sizes and a low degree of agglomeration.
