“…In comparison with α-Fe 2 O 3 and anatase TiO 2 , Fe 2 TiO 5 exhibits intermediate behavior with desirable optical band gap compared to α-Fe 2 O 3 and electronic transport compared to anatase TiO 2 . 6 Among various investigated materials, Fe 2 TiO 5 is expected to be an excellent substitute for TiO 2 in many potential applications, including water oxidation, 1 photo-degradation, 2 ceramic pigments, 3 proton exchange membranes, 4,7 Li-ion battery anodes 8,9 and gas sensors. 10 It consists of earth-abundant elements (obtainable from ilmenite mineral), 11 exhibits high chemical surface stability, and a relatively small band gap (2.1 eV).…”
