A hybrid nanoparticle/alkoxide ink for inkjet printing of TiO2: a templating effect to form anatase at 200 °C†
Abstract
A reactive ink (Ink 1) containing Ti(OPri)4 in PriOH with dimethoxyethan as a kinetic stabiliser deposits TiO2 by inkjet printing. A hybrid ink (Ink 2) consists of Ink 1 with the addition of anatase NPs, which act as seeds for the formation of anatase TiO2 at 200 °C. Printing of anatase on PET is also reported.
