Abstract
Rutile TiO2 foils with high specific surface area were fabricated through heterogeneous nucleation on substrates in acidic aqueous solutions of titanyl sulfate. Rutile crystals were directly deposited even at a near room temperature in the solutions at the conditions around the boundary between the Ti(IV) soluble species and the TiO2 crystal in the phase stability diagram of the Ti(IV)-H2O system.Keywords
