Description

General description

Titanium(IV) butoxide (titanium (IV) n-butoxide) is a titanium alkoxide[1] commonly used as a source of titanium for the synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO₂).[2]

Application

Titanium(IV) butoxide may be used in the synthesis of the following:

• high-molecular-weight poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)[3]
• GS (graphene sheets)/TiO₂ composite colloids[4]
• titanium impregnated borosilicate zeolites[5]
• TiO₂-coated silver nanowires network[6]

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.
