研究目的
To develop a method for the high-yield conversion of amorphous titanium dioxide (TiO2) to highly-crystalline TiO2 at room-temperature and in ambient environment without added dopants using a low-energy laser, and to demonstrate the ability to controllably convert locally to anatase or rutile TiO2 by adjusting the laser power density.
研究成果
The study demonstrates a novel method for the room-temperature, ambient environment crystallization of amorphous TiO2 to anatase or rutile phases using a low-energy laser. This method offers potential for the additive manufacturing of TiO2 structures for various applications, including flexible electronics and photovoltaics, with the ability to spatially control the crystalline phases.
研究不足
The study is limited by the unstable emission of the low-cost laser source used, which affects the uniformity of the conversion process. The approach may not meet high-precision industrial standards without more stable and reliable laser sources.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
