Abstract

Calcium titanate (CaTiO3), a multi-metal oxide has received extensive attention in recent years, due to its unique structural features, high chemical stability, strong catalytic activity, inexpensiveness, low toxicity, and easy synthesis. In this work, we have focused our research on and investigated the influence of Ca weight on the microstructure and properties of CaTiO3 films. CaTiO3 films on TiO2 nanotube templates were synthesized using hydrothermal method at 200 oC for 24 h. The TiO2 template was synthesized by anodizing using a Ti plate. The synthesized materials were analyzed on their crystal phase, surface morphology, Raman characterization, surface roughness, and hydrophilic properties by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3D optical Profilometer, and contact angle measurement. The synthesized film exhibited a morphological transformation from nanotube morphology to nanopillars. Notably, the hydrophilic properties and the surface roughness of the CaTiO3 films were altered after hydrothermal treatment of the TiO2 nanotube template. These findings could potentially lead to the development of highly efficient materials for use in biomedical implants.


 

Keywords: CaTiO3, hydrothermal, titanium, hydrophilic, surface roughness.
