Formation of Rutile Titania Phase at Low Temperature

The aim of this study is to synthesize and observe the most stable rutile titania phase at low temperature using spin coated sol-gel method. The deposited film was studied on a copper substrate. The XRD traces shows complete phase transformation of metastable anatase and brookite phases into the most stable rutile phase after 2 h heating at 300 °C temperature. FTIR analysis confirmed the homogeneous bonding of titania at low temperature.
