Synthesis of TiO$_2$ nanoparticles from sprayed droplets of titanium tetrachloride by the gas-phase detonation method

Nanostructured polycrystalline titanium dioxides are produced by gas-phase detonation and pyrohydrolysis. Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl$_4$) is used as a precursor in the gas phase, and a premixed gas (O$_2$ and H$_2$) is used as a source of energy. The product is a mixture of TiO$_2$ crystals in the rutile phase (80%) and anatase phase (20%).
