Synthesis of Hierarchical Titanium Carbide from Titania-Coated Cellulose Paper

Abstract

An aqueous-based, inexpensive, TiO2 precursor, Tyzor-LA, and cellulose paper have been used to prepare TiC via carbothermal reduction in an Ar flow. The hierarchical cellulose structures were also completely maintained through the agglomeration of 10-50nm TiC nanoparticles, and the lattice parameter of TiC increased with the increase of reaction temperature, while the oxygen content in the sample decreased (0.24wt% at 1500oC).
