Introduction Composition: TiSi, TiSi2, Ti5Si3, Ti5Si4 Combustion synthesis Self-propagating reaction Mechanical alloying Shock induced reaction Ti-Si system Synthesis: Heat resistant material High hardness Microelectronics Photocatalyst Application:
Ti-Si photocatalyst • As new functional materials, the light-absorption characteristics in UV-visible region (ca.360800nm) of TiSi2 are ideal for solar applications and have a good photocatalytic activity of splitting water into hydrogen. Ritterskamp P., et al, Angew.Chem. Int. Ed, 46:7770, 2007
Ti-Si photocatalyst Liu J J., et al, AIP Conf.Proc., 1426: 1403, 2012 The coupled photocatalyst of Ti5Si3 and Ti8O15 were shock-sythesized by adding oxidant and exhibits superior photocatalytic activity.
Experimental • A planetary ball mill (Fritsch, P-7) was used for grinding the Ti-Si samples. 300 steel balls of 3mm diameter (32g)and 8g of mixed powder in 80 ml bowl At 300900rpm for 3h

Conclusions • Milling treatment to some extent could decrease the threshold of shock reaction of Ti-Si and the reaction product is different from the designed one. • The direct shock synthesis may give a designed Ti-Si product under heavier loading conditions. • Both of milling and shock loading can activate and initiate reaction of the Ti-Si samples which exhibit better photocatalytic activity than that of only milling or shock loading.
Results and discussion • Thermodynamic stability of TixSiy compounds: • TiSi2<TiSi<Ti5Ti4<Ti5Si3 • Ti5Si3 is easier to form than TiSi2 or if TiSi2 is formed, has a tendency to transform to Ti5Si3. • However, the direct shock loading could get the metastable TiSi2 because of high quenching and strain rate. back Ref: Guan Q.L., et al, J.Mater.Sci., 44:1902, 2009
