Abstract

A SiO2-TiO2 gel containing 10 mol.% TiO2 was prepared with the mixed solution of Si(OC2H5)4 and Ti[O(CH2)3CH3]4. The Ti-EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) above its K-adsorption edge was measured for the gel treated at elevated temperatures up to 800°C. The estimated TiO distance indicated that Ti4+ ions were initially introduced into four-coordinated sites in the gel structure and then, the TiO distance betwme longer by the further pyrolysis above 400°C.
