In situ synchrotron diffraction of the electrochemical reduction pathway of TiO2
This paper showcases the first instance an electrochemical process was studied using X-Ray synchrotron diffraction. The research elucidates the reduction pathway of TiO2 as it converts into Ti during the FFC Cambridge process. As this was the first research of its type at ESRF, the paper was also converted into an article for the ESRF highlights magazine 2010. The research benefited Metalysis Ltd, Sheffield (spinout of University of Cambridge; Dr Ian Mellor, Technology Manager - ian.mellor@metalysis.com) who were able to view the process they are commercialising, which will specifically lead to improved impurity control and efficiency.
