Synthesis of epitaxial pentasodium trioxoundecafluoro-trititanate with plate-like morphology on fluorine-doped tin oxide coated glass substrates

A route for synthesis of epitaxial pentasodium trioxoundecafluoro-trititanate (Na5(Ti3O3F11)) with plate-like morphology on fluorine-doped tin oxide coated glass substrates (FTO- glass) using the hydrothermal bath method is described and discussed, followed by the presentation of a systematic study...
