description

TiO2 ceramic was prepared using extrusion technology and thermal treatment in two stages: sintering in air and subsequent annealing under high vacuum conditions. Sample thermal treatment in high vacuum conditions causes formation of nonstoichiometric titanium oxide ceramic. As a result electrical conductivity of the material significantly increases. Such a material can be used for electrode production for electrochemical water treatment.
