Definitions
- the present invention relates to the synthesis of nanoscale grain powders of nitrogenous and optionally carbonated derivatives of titanium dioxide.
- Nano-structured materials have been developing for the last ten years or so. This development is linked to the discovery of their original properties which have opened completely new fields of application in fields as varied as optics, catalysis, biotechnologies, electronics, and others. For example, effects due to quantum confinement, such as optical properties for silicon particles, are only observed for particles of a few nanometers. Thus, in the case of silicon, the decrease in the size of the nano-crystals leads to the opening of the gap and typically leads to intense photoluminescence in the visible.
- TiO 2 titanium dioxide
- photocatalysis makes it possible to carry out chemical reactions in the presence of light. Its principle is based on the generation of electron-hole pairs in a semiconductor material by absorption of photons whose energy is at least equal to the bandgap width of the material.
- Titanium dioxide TiOa in its anatase crystallographic form, is one of the most widely used materials in photocatalysis, in particular because of its chemical stability. This application is, of course, cited here only as an example. It is further indicated that this material also seems to be a good candidate for applications in photovoltaic cells, especially for the purpose of supplanting silicon.
- titanium dioxide is appreciated for its strong optical absorption capabilities.
- a first approach consists of adding triethylamine to a colloidal suspension of nanoparticles.
- a simpler approach in its implementation proposes, for obtaining a TiON powder, annealing of conventional nano-crystals of TiO 2 under an ammonia atmosphere (possibly argon) at 600 ° C. for three hours. .
- ammonia annealing step appears to be a constraining step because it involves a reagent that is not easy to handle and furthermore leads to the growth of the grains.
- the present invention improves the situation.
- the present invention aims first of all at a process for synthesizing a material comprising nano-crystals comprising titanium, oxygen and nitrogen.
- the method comprises a combustion carried out by laser pyrolysis, with a temperature rise of at least 500 ° C., of a precursor comprising at least titanium, oxygen and nitrogen.
- Such a method can lead to a material having a relatively low optical gap, for example below 3 eV.
- substitution doping is used to mean that, in the crystalline structure of the grains obtained, sites normally dedicated to oxygen atoms are occupied by nitrogen atoms (substitution doping). , but also possibly the fact that nitrogen atoms can become embedded in inclusion in nano-crystals of Ti x Oy (interstitial doping), the two types of doping being possible. However, for reasons of homogeneity search, it may be preferred to obtain substitution doping.
- combustion is understood to mean a physical synthesis, such as, for example, flame synthesis, or laser pyrolysis. Such techniques can be used in flux so that weightable quantities of nano-grain powder can be obtained, thus fulfilling the essential criterion for industrial development. Combustion is already used on an industrial scale, for example to produce TiO 2 nanoparticles.
- the combustion in the sense of the invention is carried out by laser pyrolysis.
- Laser pyrolysis The principle of laser pyrolysis is based on the excitation of a compound, usually a precursor, which absorbs laser radiation and transmits its energy to the entire reaction medium whose temperature then increases very rapidly, providing a temperature increase greater than 500 0 C for the implementation of the invention. A pyrolysis flame can then be observed.
- the reagents present in the precursor brought to high temperature, decompose, and after dissociation of the reagents, nanoparticles are formed and then undergo the aforementioned quenching effect at the flame outlet. This sudden drop in temperature has the effect of stopping the growth of the particles and thus makes it possible to obtain particles of nanometric size.
- the various adjustable parameters advantageously make it possible to obtain nano-crystals with good physical and chemical homogeneity, as well as varied products with a wide range of compositions. chemical, size and crystallinity.
- Pyrolysis is a chemical degradation reaction caused by thermal energy that can be provided by an optical source.
- laser pyrolysis is understood here to mean the technique of promoting thermal pyrolysis by means of an optical source which may be arbitrary (laser diode, gas laser, molecular laser, or others).
- a coherent optical source may for example be a diode, more typically a laser and more particularly a gas laser.
- gas lasers it is preferable to use molecular lasers CO 2 .
- This type of laser is commonly used in the field of pyrolysis. Under this name are grouped lasers having different compositions of excitable gas, both electrically or radiofrequency or chemical or thermal, containing in particular CO 2 which may be associated with other gases, generator of coherent infrared source.
- the power of the source will generally be between 630 and 5000 W, typically between 630 and 1200 W (as will be seen in the examples below), and its wavelength between 9.3 and 11.6 ⁇ m, typically to 10.6 ⁇ m.
- This type of source allows very localized heating and the formation of very large temperature gradients and in the immediate vicinity and in the exposure zone, which makes it possible to optimize the size of the nanoparticles. It is of course desirable that one of the components of the precursor absorbs the energy provided by the coherent source. Also, wavelength can be modulated in this way.
- a sensitizer as explained further, allows greater latitude in the choice of precursors.
- Pyrolysis is generally carried out in an enclosure isolated from the outside environment, and particularly from the atmosphere. Such an enclosure is commonly referred to as a pyrolysis reactor. Such a reactor is commercially available and is commonly used in the field of laser pyrolysis. A reactor is generally equipped with inputs controlled flow rate for the reactants (gaseous or liquid) forming the precursor, as well as a carrier gas. For liquid reagents, it is advantageous to provide an aerosol generator.
- a reactor further comprises a zone in which the reactants then mix, forming the precursor on which the pyrolysis will be carried out. This zone is located generally upstream of the area of exposure to the coherent laser source. Nano-crystals are recovered downstream of the exposure zone in a collection area.
- the exposure may be pulsed, the exposure frequency may be a few microseconds, or, advantageously, continuously.
- a focuser such as an optical device, which is placed so that the optical source is focused on the precursor.
- the focuser may in particular be a cylindrical lens.
- it may be a ZnSe lens whose resistance to infrared radiation is important. Focusing increases the power density in the exposure area. Generally, it is recommended to have a power density between 350 and 1200 W / cm 2 for an unfocused beam and from 2000 to 7000 W / cm 2 for a focused beam in the focal zone of the lens.
- the laser pyrolysis implement a laser radiation with a power of at least 600W, the radiation being focused to provide a power density of at least 2000 W / cm 2. Quenching effect
- a cold quench at the end of the pyrolysis, to still provide an additional quenching effect.
- This quenching is generally carried out by injection of a cold gas after exposure of the mixture to the optical source, so as to block the growth of the particles.
- This quenching system can be of annular geometry, similar to quenching systems that can be used on plasma torches.
- titanium tetraisopropoxide (or TTIP hereinafter) may be cited, insofar as it can also provide the oxygen element.
- the precursor may be composed of a mixture of at least: - a first reagent comprising at least titanium, and - a second reagent comprising nitrogen.
- the reagent supplying the titanium at least, to comprise a liquid phase, for example in the form of droplets.
- a good candidate as a first reagent can remain the TTIP.
- it may be titanium tetrachloride (TiCl 4 ) or a mixture of TTIP and titanium tetrachloride.
- a supply of oxygen element can be achieved by providing a flow of oxygen (O 2 ) for example added to titanium tetrachloride.
- the second reagent comprising the nitrogen element can have this property and have an optical absorption of a laser radiation involved in the pyrolysis.
- the laser radiation comprises a component in the infrared (for example a line close to 10.6 microns), ammonia (NH 3 ), or mono-methylamine (CH 3 NH 2 ), or a mixture of these products, are each good candidates as the second reagent.
- a "trace" of the combustion process within the meaning of the invention, on the material obtained, is that the latter has traces of carbon (at least 0.1% by weight of carbon).
- At least one reagent or a gas for driving a reagent in the reactor, or possibly a sensitizer (in laser pyrolysis), generally carries the carbon element, so that the obtained material comprises carbon. More particularly, it may be thought that the carbon element is generally in the form of carbon chains alongside the nitrogen-doped Ti x Oy nanocrystals in the powder obtained. Thus, the carbon particles present in the powder could be independent of the doped Ti x Oy nano-crystals, or sometimes still be in the form of inclusions in the nano-crystals.
- the annealing temperature may be in the range of 200 to 500 0 C, preferably about 300 to 400 0 C, annealing itself being carried out for one to eight hours, for example for three to six hours, or even for one to five hours, for example still about six hours.
- the material obtained by the implementation of the method may further comprise carbon and, in addition, it can promote the presence of carbon by making the precursor further comprises carbon.
- a first embodiment may simply consist in not trying to avoid the presence of carbon in the powder obtained and then choose the first and / or second reagents (respectively supplying the titanium element and / or nitrogen) so that they also provide the carbon element.
- a second embodiment consists in voluntarily supplying the carbon from a third reagent involved in the mixture forming the precursor and actually containing carbon.
- this third reagent can be used, for example, as a sensitizer for pyrolysis. It can be advantageously - or at least comprise - ethylene (C 2 H 4 ).
- an oxidation reaction can be carried out to limit the amount of carbon present in the material after the pyrolysis.
- the oxidation reaction can be carried out using an oxidant capable of reacting with the carbon. It can especially be O 2 , N 2 O, H 2 O 2 or O 3 .
- an oxidant capable of reacting with the carbon It can especially be O 2 , N 2 O, H 2 O 2 or O 3 .
- the oxidation will be carried out in the presence of O 2 at a temperature of between 200 and 500 ° C., and particularly close to 300 ° C.
- the oxidation may thus advantageously correspond to an annealing carried out with ambient air or else under synthetic air sweep (O 2 ZM 2 mixture) at atmospheric pressure.
- the oxidation is carried out until a desired concentration of carbon in the material is obtained and it is possible to carry it out until the carbon disappears. It is recommended to follow the variation of the composition of the powder. To do this, it is particularly possible to take samples and use speethoscopic methods to determine its composition. According to a particular method, it is possible to monitor by simple optical control. Indeed, as will be seen later, the powders obtained have different colors observable to the naked eye. For example, carbon-rich powders tend to be green-dark green or black in color (for higher carbon content) while low-carbon powders tend to be yellow in color. Enlargements - possible variants * choice of the first reagent
- the precursor mixture preferably comprises the elements Ti, C, O, N and optionally H. It will be in particular a mixture of organic compounds, inorganic and / or organometallic comprising the aforementioned elements.

- organometallic derivatives of titanium comprising, in their organic part, the elements C, O, H and N, or, according to a second possibility, derivatives of titanium comprising only a part of these elements, the other elements being present in the form of organic compounds independent of titanium, or even - according to a third possibility, none of these elements, the latter then being present in the form of compounds independent of titanium .
- organometallic compound derived from titanium the organic ligands of which are alcoholates comprising functional groups including in particular nitrogens.
- an organometallic titanium derivative whose ligands may for example be alcoholates, such as alkyl alcoholates of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, such as Ti (OiPr) 4 or Ti (OEt) 4 , and employing an organic compound comprising nitrogen which may be of low molecular weight and in particular correspond to NO 2 , NH 3 , H 2 NCH 3 or HNEt 2 .
- the organometallic titanium derivative comprises only part of the elements.
- the various components of the precursor mixture will be selected so as not to react significantly with each other before being subjected to pyrolysis. To select them, it is thus possible to make tests by preparing different precursor mixture samples and observe their respective behaviors under normal temperature and pressure conditions (or "CNTP" ie about 25 ° C and 1 atm). The choice of the user will advantageously focus on stable mixtures.
- the constituents of the precursor mixture will be independently in liquid or gaseous form.

- the precursor mixture may be in the form of an aerosol (droplets in liquid phase) or a gas.
- the size of the droplets be micrometric. It is furthermore preferable to dissolve certain components of the precursor mixture in a solvent, especially solid or liquid and viscous components. Particularly in the case of a standard aerosol dispenser, liquid whose viscosity is higher than 5.10 "3 Pa.s will preferably be dissolved, to facilitate the creation of an aerosol. Under these conditions, it is preferable that the The solvent used corresponds to one of the components of the precursor mixture or to one of the organic compounds that can be bound to titanium.
- the solvent may in particular be isopropanol when the precursor is titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP).
- TTIP titanium tetraisopropoxide
- the components will be dissolved in the solvent to obtain a concentration such that an aerosol generating device can operate.
- the amount of solvent present generally results in an increase in the amount of carbon present in the powders obtained at the end of the pyrolysis.
- a carrier gas corresponds to a gas that conveys the precursor mixture to allow its exposure to the optical source.
- the gas chosen for this purpose is stable. In any case, this type of gas is not completely destabilized, or in any case is insufficiently to react with the components of the precursor mixture.
- It may for example be a monatomic gas such as a rare gas such as argon or helium, or a polyatomic stable gas such as nitrogen (N 2).
- the carrier gas is part of the components of the precursor mixture and thus constitutes one of the reagents. It may for example be ammonia NH 3 .
- the mixture can be in the form of a gas stream (if the components of the precursor mixture are gaseous), or an aerosol stream (if at least one of the components of the precursor mixture is liquid or solid under CNTP conditions), it being understood in this case that the use of a solvent may be useful.
- the main axis in which the optical radiation propagates (which typically corresponds to a laser beam) be orthogonal to the axis of the flux.
- the flux value just like the composition of the precursor mixture, can be modulated according to the wishes of the user.
- the application of an iterative method, from a first result allows those skilled in the art to identify more precisely the experimental conditions best suited to the composition of the material it wishes to obtain. However, it is useful to refer to the examples given below.
- the mixture may comprise a sensitizer.
- a sensitizer In accordance with the uses in the field of pyrolysis, it is a compound that allows, if necessary, more efficiently transfer energy from the source to the precursor mixture generally by collisional transfer.
- the use of a sensitizer is recommended especially when the precursor mixture does not absorb or little energy provided by the optical source.
- the use of sensitizers is known in the field of pyrolysis and the skilled person can thus choose the sensitizer best suited to the operating conditions. Usually, under the experimental conditions of pyrolysis, the sensitizer must not be degraded.
- the sensitizer generally corresponds to a low molecular weight organic compound. It may for example be chosen from SF 6 or preferably ethylene (C 2 H 4 ).
- one of the reactants of the precursor mixture is a sensitizer. It thus enables the energy supplied by the optical source to be transferred to the entire precursor mixture. It is therefore preferable that the sensitizer contains at least one of the following: C, N, O and optionally H. Under these conditions, it is of course desirable that all or part of the sensitizer present be degraded by pyrolysis. Ammonia (NH 3 ) can then be used as a sensitizer for nitrogen input. In addition, if it is desired to add more carbon to the powder obtained, it can be provided as a sensitizer of ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) alternatively or even in addition to ammonia.

- crystallized particles in the anatase phase are mainly obtained.
- the use of a focus makes it possible to increase the proportion of rutile phase to make it majority on that of anatase. It is also possible to access the brookite phase by further increasing the power density.
- the nano-crystals obtained may have a crystallographic structure according to at least one of the following phases:
- a first TiO 2 phase of the anatase type a second TiO 2 phase of rutile type.

- the flow of neutral gas is controlled by a flow meter Vl.

- the REAC reactor itself, is traversed by laser radiation LAS, with advantageously focusing means (not shown) on the interaction zone with the droplets of the precursor. Pyrolysis then produces a flame. The particles at the flame outlet undergo a quenching effect TR (for example by injection of a cold gas). A POU powder is finally collected, which then comprises nano-crystals comprising at least titanium, oxygen, nitrogen, and possibly carbon. These nano-crystals advantageously have good optical properties in the UV range, in particular a very satisfactory optical absorption, due, on the one hand, to the presence of the nitrogen element among the reagents and, on the other hand, to the good homogeneity of the powder obtained by the implementation of the invention.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment has further increased the optical absorption of the powder.
- This is the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 and in which the precursor is evaporated so that it reacts in the vapor phase with the laser radiation.

- a sensitizer such as ammonia (NH 3 ) with, optionally, a complement (or alternatively) ethylene (C 2 H 4 ), the flow rate of which is also controlled by a flow meter V'3 is provided.
- the precursor mixture entrained by the driving fluid and the sensitizer is conveyed to the REAC reactor.
- the pyrolysis reaction itself is carried out substantially as described above with reference to FIG. 1, the precursor however being conveyed here in the vapor phase and continuously (because of the control of its flow in the liquid phase by the flow meter Vl).
- This second embodiment generally produces grains of smaller size and, in any case, a more homogeneous grain size than the first embodiment of FIG.
- the optical radiation comes from a coherent source (preferentially infrared), typically a CO 2 laser source capable of delivering up to 5kW in continuous mode.
- a coherent source preferentially infrared
- CO 2 laser source capable of delivering up to 5kW in continuous mode.
- the rate of passage of the mixture in the laser exposure zone, and incidentally the residence time of the compounds, are typically imposed by the flow of the carrier gas (neutral gas such as argon and optionally ammonia).

- the powders were prepared from the reagents TTIP and NH 3 which respectively served as a source of Ti, C and O, and N source.
- the precursor TTIP was introduced via an injector, for example GOU aerosol with reference to Figure 1, 6 mm in diameter, at a speed of about 20-30 gh "1.
- the carrier gas, helium, nitrogen or argon in the The example described had a flow rate of 2000 cm 3 min -1 , thereby fixing the amount of TTIP precursor per hour in the reactor.
- the NH 3 sensitizer was introduced at a flow rate of 400 cm 3 min -1 into the aerosol just before the reaction zone.
- the irradiation was carried out using a CO 2 laser (with a power of 630-1200W), focused with a 12 mm lens, whose beam was perpendicular to the path of the solution. gas.
- the TiON powders were made from an oxidation of TiCON powders as previously obtained.
- the oxidation was carried out by annealing in air and at atmospheric pressure directly in the collection zone of the pyrolysis reactor.
- the TiCON 16 powder (TEM image of FIG. 3), appearing in green color with the naked eye, was annealed at 400 ° C. in ambient air for three hours. It was obtained a TiON powder (TEM image of Figure 4). and a change of the color of the powder towards the yellow could be observed.
- the nanoparticles of green powder before annealing (FIG. 3) and the nanoparticles of yellow powder after annealing (FIG. 4) are arranged in the form of chains. In both cases, the nanoparticles have an irregular surface, an elongated silhouette but a small dispersion in size.
- Table I are presented the different values that could be obtained by analysis of these powders.
- the particle size is typically between 8 and 15 nm (D TEM ) - such a value is less than the value of 21 nm of the equivalent diameter (D BET ) calculated from BET surface measurements (for Brunauer, Emmet and Teller), for which it was assumed that the TiCON and TION powders had the density of the anatase.

- Table II shows the atomic compositions and the corresponding crude formulas after mass elemental analysis.
- the green powder before annealing, contains fifteen times more carbon than the yellow powder, after annealing. It should be noted, however, that the green powder, on the other hand, contained twice as much nitrogen as the yellow powder after annealing. This observation can be explained by an association between certain nitrogen atoms and the carbon atoms at the periphery of the crystals or in inclusion therein. Thus, removal of carbon after annealing also seems to result in partial removal of nitrogen. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that the amount of carbon is substantially lower than that of nitrogen, after annealing (by a factor of about 7).
- the green powder contains less oxygen than the stoichiometric TiO 2 . This observation can be explained by the fact that there are Ti 3+ ions and oxygen vacancies in the nanoparticles, or else because of the presence of other phases than the TiO 2 phase.
- the green powder obtained thus corresponds to an intermediate powder still containing carbon.
- the carbon is present in a very negligible amount (3% in total) and the powder can be used already without annealing in the aforementioned optical absorption applications.
- FIG. 5 illustrating the distribution of the size of the grains obtained on the green powder before annealing
- a very advantageous average of about 8.7 nm of grain diameter appears with a standard deviation of 2, 2, which shows both a small grain size and a very good homogeneity.

- the material obtained by the process in the sense of the invention has, in particular, solar radiation filtration properties in the UV-B range at least, and preferably in the UV-B and UV-A ranges.
- Table III below gives the following: Filtration indices in the range
- UV B (290 nm - 350 nm in wavelengths) and UV A (350 - 400 nm) of different powders obtained by the process in the sense of the invention, to correlate with the respective proportions of carbon and nitrogen ( percentage by mass), as well as with the color of the powders obtained before annealing.
- a high nitrogen doping (TICON 127 powder) provides a filtration index of the same order of magnitude as a high carbon "pollution", which blackens the powders (which can be disadvantageous for applications where an aesthetic effect is sought).
- certain UV protection applications such as, for example, filtering UV B and / or UV A solar rays by motor vehicle windows, it may be advantageous to control the optical properties and in particular the color of the powder embedded in the vehicle. composite forming the glass.
- the control of The respective proportions of carbon and nitrogen in the process according to the invention advantageously allows such applications.
- a pure TiO 2 powder is white.
- the filtration index of Table III can typically be measured as follows: 0.5 g of powder to be tested and 2.0 g of castor oil are milled using a flat mill 2 times 100 turns. The crushed mixture obtained is then dispersed in a collodion (15% nitrocellulose - 42.5% ethyl acetate - 42.5% butyl acetate) by stirring under ultrasound for about 15 minutes. The dispersion is then spread on UV-transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates. The thickness of such a wet film is about 300 microns. Moreover, a film consisting of the same collodion and pure castor oil is made to serve as a reference for spectrophotometer measurements.
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- Filtration values are thus obtained from the measurements in accordance with the procedure described in the document: "A new substrate to measure simscreen protection factor throughout ultraviolet spectrum", BL Diffey and J. Robson, Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, vol.40, pp. 1-27-133 (1989), a high filtration index indicating significant attenuation of light.

- Figure 7 shows diffractograms obtained by X-ray diffraction for material M, compared with the diffractograms of TiO, Ti 4 O 7 , TiO 2 in anatase and rutile form. It appears that the nanocrystals of the material M have a crystallographic structure according to very largely a phase of titanium monoxide.
- the process described above thus makes it possible, surprisingly, to obtain titanium monoxide in the form of nanoparticles, which is all the more interesting since titanium monoxide is not a natural form.
- the structure of the material M remains stable beyond one month. The process described above thus makes it possible to obtain nanoparticles with a stable TiO 2 phase.
- the nanocrystals of this material L have a crystallographic structure according to at least one Ti 4 O 7 phase and an anatase phase.
- FIG. 8 shows the diffractogram obtained for the powder D.
- the X-ray diagram shows that the powder is rich in the TiO phase and also has an TiO 2 phase of the anatase type.
- X-ray diffraction analysis has thus made it possible to demonstrate the possibility of presence, in the nanoparticles obtained according to exemplary embodiments, of phases other than the TiO 2 phase, for example of TiO or Ti 4 O 7 phases. It is possible that these phases are doped with nitrogen atoms.
- the powders L, M, D and O obtained are black in color. It is possible to anneal to reduce the carbon content, the dark color of the powders may be detrimental to the applications, for example for applications requiring optical transmission or even for applications for which an aesthetic effect is sought.
- UV A for windows of motor vehicles, windows of houses or for glasses, it may be advantageous to control the optical properties and in particular the color of the powder embedded in the composite forming the glass, the window or the spectacle lens respectively.
- FIG. 9 shows the diffractogram obtained for powder O, the diffractogram obtained for this same powder O after a so-called "conventional" annealing at 400 ° C. for 3 hours under air (O-RC diffractogram), and the diffractogram for this same powder O after a softer annealing at 300 ° C for 6 hours under air
- the X-ray diagram of the powder O shows the presence of a TiO phase and the presence of an anase phase.
- the O-RC diffractogram shows that after annealing at 400 ° C. for 3 hours in air of the powder O, the TiO 2 phase disappeared, in whole or in almost all.
- the nanocrystals seem to be mainly composed of a TiO 2 anatase phase.
- the O-RD diffractogram, 300 ° C. shows that after the softer annealing at 300 ° C. for 6 hours, the TiO 2 phase continued to coexist with the anatase phase. It is possible that the annealing, by limiting the carbon content, lead to a change in the structure of the powder and promotes the oxidation of titanium with an enrichment of the TiO 2 phase, in anatase or rutile form, for example. In particular, annealing of the powder L comprising a Ti 4 O 7 phase leads to oxidation to a TiO 2 phase.
- the annealing conditions can thus determine the color of the powder and the band gap.
- the choice of relatively mild annealing conditions can thus make it possible to reconcile a reduction in the carbon content with the maintenance of a less oxidized phase than TiO 2 , for example the TiO 2 phase.
- the powder O after the relatively mild annealing at 300 ° C. for 6 hours, has an orange-brown color which remains compatible with certain applications, while maintaining a relatively small gap, as will be seen with reference to FIG. 10 described herein. -after.
- FIG. 10 shows indeed optical absorption graphs for an essentially rutile powder (curve C), an essentially anatase powder (curve D), a powder of material O after a conventional annealing at 400 ° C. for 3 hours under air
- the mild annealing powder has a relatively low offset optical gap of about 1.8 eV. This low optical gap value is related to the presence of the TiO phase.
- the filtration index measured under the same conditions as explained above is 1420.
- the choice of mild annealing thus seems advantageous because the proportion of UV rays filtered by the powder obtained is relatively high, because of the small optical gap, the color of the powder obtained remaining satisfactory.
- the annealing conditions can be optimized according to the desired color and the desired optical properties, or other constraints depending on the desired applications.
