Atomic-Scale Investigation on the Evolution of Tio-Anatase Prepared by a Sonochemical Route and Treated with NaOH.

To date, the formation mechanisms of TiO, as well as its heterostructures, have not been clarified. Moreover, detailed research on the transition from a tetragonal anatase phase to the monoclinic phase of the TiO(B) phase and their interface structure has been quite limited until now. In the present study, we report on the sonochemical synthesis of TiO-anatase with a crystallite size of 5.
