| 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. • A precursor to synthesize ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 thin films. • A catalyst in the synthesis of aliphatic−aromatic copolyesters through polycondensation reactions. • A precursor for synthesis of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposite powders prepared via sol-gel synthesis used for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. • A precursor for synthesis of TiO₂ nanoparticles (anatase and rutile) via polyol-mediated synthesis technique. • A precursor for synthesis of Titanium dioxide nanorods via hydrothermal method which are utilized as electron transport layers (ETLs) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) • A precursor for synthesis of TiO2 coatings enhance the stability and luminescent properties of Rb0.1Cs0.9PbBrI2 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) for white-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and color conversion in display devices. |
| Application: | 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. |
| 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. |
