Description

General description

Titanium(IV) butoxide is an organometallic compound, soluble in non-polar and moderately polar organic solvents. It is used as a precursor in the production of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and thin films, which have applications in fields such as electronics, coatings, and photocatalysis. Titanium dioxide, synthesized from titanium(IV) butoxide, is utilized in solar cells, including perovskite solar cells, as well as in electron-emitting nano devices. Additionally, titanium dioxide plays a role in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), and electroluminescent devices.

Application

Titanium(IV) butoxide, can be used

• As a catalyst in the transesterification of methyl methacrylate and synthesis of renewable polyesters from vanillin-based dimers.
• To synthesize ferroelectric Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ thin films.
• As a catalyst in the synthesis of aliphatic−aromatic copolyesters through polycondensation reactions.

Titanium(IV) butoxide, can be used as a precursor for synthesis of:

• Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanocomposite powders prepared via sol-gel synthesis used for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
• TiO_₂ nanoparticles (anatase and rutile) via polyol-mediated synthesis technique.
• Titanium dioxide nanorods via hydrothermal method which are utilized as electron transport layers (ETLs) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs)
• TiO₂ coatings enhance the stability and luminescent properties of Rb_0.1Cs_0.9PbBrI₂ perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) for white-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and color conversion in display devices.

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

• TBO has a low viscosity, enables improved penetration and uniform coating on various substrates.
• It exhibits good thermal stability, which is advantageous during high-temperature processing, allowing it to maintain its chemical integrity and performance under elevated temperatures.
• It is soluble in anhydrous ethanol, ether, benzene and chloroform.
