Preparation of Layered Potassium Titanate

Layered potassium titanate is an important intermediate in preparing titania nanosheets. Three methods including method of potassium stearate, method of stearic acid and method of high-temperature solid-state reaction were used to produce layered potassium titanate in this paper. XRD and SEM were used to characterize the crystal structure and shape. The result of experiments showed that method of potassium stearate was the most effective way to prepare the layered potassium titanate.
