Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Composites based on titanium(IV) and nickel(II) oxides have been synthesized and investigated in a wide composition range: 0.5–60 wt % Ni. We have analyzed the effect of synthesis conditions on the phase composition and texture of the composites, some of which contain mesopores, consist of nanoparticles, and offer photocatalytic activity in the visible range.
