Title: Selective Brookite Polymorph Formation Related to the Amorphous Precursor State in TiO2 Thin Films

Abstract

A wide variety of brookite TiO2 synthesis methods have been published over the past several decades, but few studies discuss the underlying mechanism that stabilizes brookite over its stable counterparts, rutile and anatase. Here in this study, we investigate of the effect of pulsed laser deposition parameters on the as-deposited amorphous precursor titania thin films, which subsequently crystallize into stable and metastable TiO2 polymorphs upon annealing. We find that oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber strongly influences the non-equilibrium state of the amorphous precursor, which ultimately allows for selective polymorph formation. Rutile forms as the dominant phase at low pO2 < 0.1 mTorr, while anatase is favored at high pO2 > 5 mTorr. Brookite forms primarily at intermediate pO2 (0.5-1.0 mTorr). Controlling the amorphous structure (i.e. Ti - O bonding and polyhedral arrangement) of the precursors via oxygen deficiency is therefore likely for the selective formation of crystalline TiO2 polymorphs from sub-stoichiometric amorphous precursors. Lastly, directing phase selectivity by manipulating the structure and internal energy of the precursor amorphous state may have tremendous potential for synthesis of metastable crystalline phases that exhibit more desirable properties in comparison to their stable counterparts.

Recently, the development of in situ high temperature and controlled atmosphere transmission electron microscopy has enabled the direct observation of nucleation, growth, and phase transformations with near atomic resolution. In this work, we directly observe the crystallization behavior of amorphous TiO<sub>2</sub> thin films grown under different pulsed laser deposition conditions and quantify the mechanisms behind metastable crystalline polymorph stabilization. Films deposited at 10 mTorr chamber oxygen pressure crystallize into nanocrystalline Anatase at 325 degrees C, whereas films deposited at 2 mTorr<a href='#' onclick='$(this).hide().next().show().next().show();return false;' style='margin-left:10px;'>more »</a><span style='display:none;'> crystallize into significantly larger needle-like grains of Brookite and Anatase at 270 degrees C. Increasing film deposition rate by a factor of 4 results in a 10x increase in the crystalline growth front velocity as well as a decrease in crystallization temperature from 270 degrees C to 225 degrees C. Engineering the amorphous precursor state through deposition conditions therefore provides routes to microstructure control and the accessibility of higher energy metastable phases.</span><a href='#' onclick='$(this).hide().prev().hide().prev().show();return false;' style='margin-left:10px;display:none;'>« less</a></div><div class="metadata-links small clearfix text-muted" style="margin-top:15px;"> <span class="fa fa-book text-muted" aria-hidden="true"></span> Cited by 8<div class="pure-menu pure-menu-horizontal pull-right" style="width:unset;"> <ul class="pure-menu-list"> <li class="pure-menu-item"><span class="item-info-ftlink"><a class="misc doi-link " href="https://doi.org/10.1111/jace.16965" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Link to document DOI" data-ostiid="1598127" data-product-type="Journal Article" data-product-subtype="AM" >https://doi.org/10.1111/jace.16965</a></span></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><span class="item-info-ftlink"><a class="misc fulltext-link " href="/pages/servlets/purl/1598127" title="Link to document media" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-ostiid="1598127" data-product-type="Journal Article" data-product-subtype="AM" >Full Text Available</a></span></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="article item document" itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage"><meta itemprop="position" content="1" /><div class="item-info"> <h2 class="title" itemprop="name headline"><a href="/biblio/21043918-kinetics-study-phase-transformation-from-titania-polymorph-brookite-rutile" itemprop="url">Kinetics study on phase transformation from titania polymorph brookite to rutile</a></h2> <div class="metadata"> <small class="text-muted" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:block;line-height:2.5em;">Journal Article</small><span class="authors"> <span class="author">Huberty, Jason</span> ; <span class="author">Xu Huifang</span> <span class="text-muted pubdata"> - Journal of Solid State Chemistry</span> </span> </div> <div class="abstract">TiO{sub 2} is a polymorphic material of great scientific interest due to its semiconductor properties and uses in heterogeneous photocatalysis.

The rate parameter of the first-order model for the phase transformation is expressed as k=6.85x10{sup 14} exp(-49,451/T) s{sup -1} for the first-order model and k=4.19x10{sup 18} exp(-59,189/T) s{sup -1} using the JMAK model.

The robust growth of the brookite polymorph of TiO<sub>2</sub>, a promising photocatalyst, has been difficult in both powder and thin-film forms due to the disparity of reported synthesis techniques, their highly specific nature, and lack of mechanistic understanding. In this work, we report the growth of high-fraction (~95%) brookite thin films prepared by annealing amorphous titania precursor films deposited by pulsed laser deposition.

To demonstrate the approach, we study the stabilization of metastable VO <sub>2</sub> compounds which provides a rich chemical and structural polymorph space. Here, we find that common polymorph statistics, lattice matching, and energy above hull considerations recommends homostructural growth on TiO <sub>2</sub> substrates, where the VO <sub>2</sub> brookite phase would be preferentially grown on the a-c TiO <sub>2</sub> brookite plane while<a href='#' onclick='$(this).hide().next().show().next().show();return false;' style='margin-left:10px;'>more »</a><span style='display:none;'> the columbite and anatase structures favor the a-b plane on the respective TiO <sub>2</sub> phases.

The minimal interfacial geometry matching and estimated strain energy criteria provide several suggestions for substrates and substrate-film orientations for the heterostructural growth of the hitherto hypothetical anatase, brookite, and columbite polymorphs. Our criteria serve as a preliminary guidance for the experimental efforts stabilizing new materials and/or polymorphs through epitaxy.

In this study, the consistency of first-principles predictions and experimental results involving the relative energetic ordering of stable (rutile), metastable (anatase and brookite), and unstable (columbite) TiO<sub>2</sub> polymorphs is assessed via density functional theory (DFT).

Energetic trends formed from varying <i>U</i><sub>3d</sub> predict experimentally consistent energetic ordering over <i>U</i><sub>3d</sub> intervals when using GGA-based functionals, regardless of pseudopotential selection. Given pertinent linear response calculated Hubbard <i>U</i> values, these results enable TiO<sub>2</sub> polymorph energetic ordering prediction. Here, the hybrid functional calculations involving rutile–anatase relative energetics, though demonstrating experimentally consistent energetic ordering over exact exchange fraction ranges, are not accompanied by predicted fractions, for a first-principles methodology capable of calculating exact exchange fractions precisely predicting TiO<sub>2</sub> polymorph energetic ordering is not available.</span><a href='#' onclick='$(this).hide().prev().hide().prev().show();return false;' style='margin-left:10px;display:none;'>« less</a></div><div class="metadata-links small clearfix text-muted" style="margin-top:15px;"> <span class="fa fa-book text-muted" aria-hidden="true"></span> Cited by 73<div class="pure-menu pure-menu-horizontal pull-right" style="width:unset;"> <ul class="pure-menu-list"> <li class="pure-menu-item"><span class="item-info-ftlink"><a class="misc doi-link " href="https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.5b05338" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Link to document DOI" data-ostiid="1234078" data-product-type="Journal Article" data-product-subtype="PA" >https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.5b05338</a></span></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </li> </ul> </aside> </div> </section> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 order-sm-3"> <ul class="nav nav-stacked"> <li class="active"><a class="tab-nav disabled" data-tab="related" style="color: #636c72 !important;
