Ni-Doped Protonated Layered Titanate/TiO2 Composite with Efficient Photocatalytic Activity for NOx Decomposition Reactions by Kanji Saito, Shota Orikasa, Yusuke Asakura, Yusuke Ide, Yoshiyuki Sugahara, Masataka Ogasawara, Shu Yin, Sumio Kato

“…A unique structural transformation of a lepidocrocite-type layered titanate, K0.8Ti1.73Li0.27O4, into a rutile-type TiO2 has recently been realized via dilute HCl treatment and subsequent drying at room temperature for producing rutile-nanoparticle-decorated protonated layered titanate exhibiting highly efficient photocatalytic activity. Herein, the authors report synthesis of a lepidocrocite-type layered cesium titanate with nominal compositions of Cs0.7Ti1.825‐x/2Nix□0.175‐x/2O4 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.35) through solid-state reactions of Cs2CO3, TiO2, and Ni(CH3COO)2·4H2O at different temperatures (600 or 800°C), followed by treatment with dilute HCl and subsequent drying to produce a Ni-doped protonated layered titanate/TiO2 composite. …”
