Procedure

Organic butyl titanate solution is mixed with a solvent (denatured ethanol) and graphite. The butyl titanate and solvent undergo a metathetical ligand exchange (room temperature decomposition) to form titanium tetraethanolate, butanol, and ethanol. The alcohols are then decanted, and the resulting slurry is then heated at 350° C. to completely decompose the remaining organic components, resulting in TiO2 being deposited on the basal plane surface of the graphite.
