Formation, modification and new applications of orderly structured titanium oxide nanostructures /

This dissertation focuses on the formation of non-stoichiometric titanium oxide nanostructures, the characterization of their properties and the search for practical applications. TiOx and Mxenes (Ti3C2) nanostructures formed in a liquid medium were investigated using SEM, EDX, Raman, EPR, XPS, XRD methods. In this dissertation, it was first time determined that hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent calcination under oxygen-free atmosphere allow the formation of high surface area titanium suboxide nanostructures with controllable surface morphology, phase composition and bandwidth. For the first time, thin films for the detection of salicylic acid by enhanced Raman spectroscopy were formed from Ti3C2 Mxenes. The dissertation proves that both titanium suboxides and MXenes (Ti3C2) nanostructures have a wide range of practical applications in sensors and catalysis.
