Mechanocatalytic Hydrogen Generation in Centrosymmetric Barium Dititanate.

ABSTRACT: Novel phase of nano materials that break the traditional structural constraints are highly desirable, particularly in the field of mechanocatalysis, offering versatile applications ranging from energy to medical diagnosis and treatment. In this work, a distinct layered barium dititanate (BaTi₂O₅) nanocrystals using a pH-modulated hydrothermal method is successfully synthesized. These nanocrystals exhibit outstanding hydrogen generation capability (1160 µmol g^-1 h^-1 in pure water) and demonstrate remarkable performance in organic dye degradation using ultrasonication. The crystal structure of this newly discovered BaTi₂O₅ phase, is determined by a combination of synchrotron Powder Diffraction refinement and X-ray adsorption t
