Synthesis Characterization and Photoprotection Properties of ZnTiO3 Powder Prepared by Co- Precipitation Method

Abstract

Zinc titanate (ZnTiO 3) powders were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation peroxide method. Zinc chloride and titanium (IV) isopropoxide were used as the starting materials with the ratio of Zn:Ti was 1:1. The prepared powder was calcined at 800°C for 3 hours using the X-ray diffraction the calcined zinc titanate powder crystalline phase formation was found to be cubic. FTIR was taken for confirming the bonding characteristics of ZnO and TiO 2 . Decomposition temperature was analyzed by using TGA. The optical and photoprotection activity of the synthesized powder was evaluated by Lead carbonate test by using Hunter lab color difference meter. Colour difference is determined using a white medium and strength is determined using black medium. The prepared ZnTiO 3 powder shows better photoprotection activity.
