| Application: | Titanium(IV) butoxide can be used as: • A precursor to prepare the titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles or thin films via sol-gel method. These TiO2 nanoparticles are suitable for ultraviolet photodetector applications on flame retardant-4 (FR-4) boards. • A precursor to synthesize TiO₂ nanoparticles via polyol-mediated method. • A precursor for synthesizing anatase-phase TiO₂ nanoparticles through a microwave-assisted method. The resulting nanoparticles are carbon-coated and employed as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries. • A precursor material for the preparation of titanium oxide (TiO2) for various applications such as dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), photo-catalytic and self-cleaning based coatings |
| Application: | Used to prepare nanosized titania in the anatase form and ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 thin films. Used in the preparation of nanocrystalline TiO2 powders at room temperature. |
| Features and Benefits: | Titanium(IV) butoxide exhibits: • High Purity (≥97.0%): Ensures minimal contamination in the final product, which is crucial for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and optics. • Liquid at Room Temperature: Easy to handle and mix with solvents or other reagents. • High solubility: Soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether but insoluble in water. Compatible with Various Synthesis Methods • Reproducibility: High purity and consistent reactivity ensure reproducible results across batches and experiments. |
| General description: | Titanium(IV) butoxide, also known as titanium tetra butoxide or tetrabutyl titanate. It appears as a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid and is typically sensitive to moisture and air. It is widely used as a precursor in the production of titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films through sol-gel processes. It plays a key role in the development of ceramic coatings and nanostructured materials. Titanium(IV) butoxide is also commonly employed as a catalyst or catalyst component in esterification and transesterification reactions. |
