Abstract
Potassium tetratitanate (K2Ti4O9) whiskers were synthesized by the calcination and slow-cooling method. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study the formation of K2Ti4O9. In the slow-cooling calcination process, the control of cooling rate was crucial to growth of K2Ti4O9 whiskers. The characterization of the whiskers was carried out by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM).
