Abstract
A method of forming a titania-coated inorganic particle comprising the steps of: (a) agitating a mixture of inorganic particle and organic solvent; (b) adding titania precursor dropwise into the mixture of step (a) under agitation; and (c) adding catalyst to the mixture of step (b) thereby converting said titania precursor to titania which then forms a coating on said inorganic particle; wherein steps (a) to (c) are performed at neutral pH and ambient temperature.
Claims2
A titania-coated particle produced by a method comprising steps of:
- (a) agitating a mixture of inorganic particle and organic solvent;
- (b) adding titania precursor dropwise into the mixture of step (a) under agitation;
- and
- (c) adding catalyst to the mixture of step (b) two or more times at predetermined time intervals, wherein each time interval is at least 0.5 hours apart, thereby converting said titania precursor to titania which then forms a coating on said inorganic particle;
- wherein steps (a) to (c) are performed at neutral pH and ambient temperature.
