Resumo
A new technique to produce microscale Ti3O5 nano- and microfiber meshes is proposed. When a 3 wt% carbon-doped TiO2 film on Si(1 0 0) was annealed at 1000 °C in wet nitrogen (0.8%H2O), the amorphous TiO2 phase gave rise to crystalline phases of λ-Ti3O5 (75%) and rutile + trace of TiO 2-xCx (25%). From Raman and FTIR Spectroscopy results, it was concluded that rutile is formed at the inner layer located at the interface between the mesh and the Si that was located away from the surface such that the meshes of nano- and microfibers are predominantly composed of Ti 3O5 grown from the reaction of rutile with Si to form Ti3O5 and SiO2. On the other hand, it was noteworthy that the microscale mesh of nano- and microfibers showed increased photoluminescence compared with amorphous TiO2. The PL spectrum which had a broad band in the visible spectrum, fitted as three broad Gaussian distributions centered at 571.6 nm (∼2.2 eV), 623.0 nm (∼2.0 eV) and 661.9 nm (∼1.9 eV). © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
