The Microemulsion Method for Preparing TiO2 Coated SiO2 Core-shell Particles

In this paper, the monodisperse TiO2 particles and TiO2 coated SiO2 core-shell particles were prepared by the method of microemulsion, and the phase and morphology of TiO2 and TiO2 coated SiO2 core-shell structure particles were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). At the same time, the phase changes and morphology changes of the two different kinds of structural particles as the changes of sintering temperature were compared. The results show that when the TiO2 particles were prepared by the method of microemulsion, the content of anatase TiO2 decreased gradually and the rutile TiO2 increased gradually as the sintering temperature increases from 550 degrees C to 650 degrees C; the core-shell particles of TiO2 coated SiO2 prepared were anatase when the sintering temperature increases from 600 degrees C to 800 degrees C; all of the particles size were about 1 mu m, the monodispersity of the particles were optimal and the particles were coated evenly, smoothly.
