Probing molten salt flux reactions using time-resolved in situ high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction: A new synthesis route to the mixed-valence NaTi2O4
A new molten salt synthesis route to the mixed-valence sodium titanate NaTi2O4 has been discovered. Reduction of Na 8Ti5O14 by Ti metal powder in a 3:1 molar mixture of NaCl:KCl at 770 °C produced crystals of NaTi2O 4. Use of the molten salt flux lowered the synthesis temperature of this compound by...
