Abstract

Analysis of the structure and phase change of nanodispersed titanium dioxide  (obtained using sol-gel method) intercalated with zirconium and niobium  (based on the following precursors: zirconium butoxide Zr(OC(CH3)3)4 and niobium ethoxide Nb(OCH2CH3)5) has been performed. X-ray analysis revealed anatase and brookite phases for ТіО2<Zr> and their transformation into rutile upon annealing at a temperature of 1120 K. It is shown that intercalation of niobium in ТіО2 stabilizes  anatase phase (without transformation into rutile).
