摘要
Titanium niobate (TiNb2O7) possesses excellent photocatalytic properties, dielectric properties, and lithium-insertion capacity. High-pressure (HP) treatment is a powerful tool for bandgap engineering aiming at widening its applications. Herein, we report the growth of TiNb2O7 single crystals by the optical floating zone (OFZ) method and the engineering of the TiNb2O7 bandgap via HP. To obtain the physical mechanism of the bandgap variation under HP, the detailed pressure-dependent properties and structure information have been characterized by using in situ Raman spectroscopy and angle dispersive synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (ADXRD). During compression, the TiNb2O7 crystals were amorphized and the amorphized phase was maintained under ambient conditions. The microstructures of the uncompressed crystalline and decompressed amorphized samples have also been investigated accordingly.
