Abstract

SiO2/TiO2 core-shell particles with controlled shell thickness were prepared by a multistep coating process. The thickness of the titania coating layer was varied from 9 to 57 nm depending on the number of coating steps, from 1 to 5 times. The titania coating resulted in a rough and textured surface of the core-shell particles, increasing the specific surface areas 5-25 times depending on the coating thickness with respect to those of silica particles. FT-IR and XPS results confirmed the existence of Ti{single bond}O{single bond}Si chemical bonding at the interface between the titania coating layer and silica particle surface. The apparent surface coverage was estimated using isoelectric point data.
