| Abstract Scope |
From composites to photocatalysis, one-dimensional titanium oxide lepidocrocite filaments (1DLs) have potential in many applications. As a material with a base unit of just 2x2 titanium octahedra in cross section, they exhibit confinement in two dimensions providing a fascinating mix of properties. Their scalable fabrication process will be discussed in detail, including a presentation of the primary characterization techniques for 1DLs. Their unique electronic and colloidal properties will be presented, including their tendency to self-assemble under a variety of conditions. In the context of applications, the 1DLs offer potential as a high-strength inorganic filler in composites. Additionally, as a low-dimensional semiconductor they offer promise in adsorption and photocatalysis with a locus of water treatment. Their demonstrated potential in water splitting for hydrogen generation will be discussed. |
