Core–shell structure formation strategy with hydrothermal synthesis: Importance of seeds, precursor concentration, and heterogeneous reaction

While using the titanium organic complex as a starting material under widely various seed concentrations and temperature conditions, this study examined the reaction kinetics of titanium oxide formation on nickel particles. Homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation depending on temperature were studied from the perspective of reaction engineering for core–shell type particle design. Homogeneous nucleation and the growth rate were comparable:...
