Abstract
A structural study, using TGA-DSC analysis, X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering and FT Infrared absorption, is performed on mixed titanium lithium oxide with 20% of lithium prepared by sol-gel process. The structure is investigated as a function of the annealing temperature. At low temperatures the sample is in the anatase phase and transforms to the rutile phase near 500°C. The crystallite size of rutile TiO2 increases from 40 to 100 nm as the temperature increases. However the size increase presents some discontinuity at temperature around 600°C. At thermal treatment temperatures from 500°C to 850°C the presence of LiTi2O4 in the sample is clearly observed. Finally at 1000°C the sample is composed by a mixture of rutile TiO2 and Li2Ti3O7.
