Abstract

Crystal structures of TiO(OH)(2) and Li2TiO3 have been studied in detail and refined using X-ray powder diffraction data. Both compounds possess a high concentration of defects in the structure. The crystal structure of the Li2TiO3 salt obtained at 700 degrees C reveals stacking faults of LiTi2 metal layers, which leads to the appearance of short-range order in three possible space groups: C2/c, C2/m, P3(1)12. The possibility to stabilise this imperfect state increases the mobility of the Li+ ions in the structure and allows the complete exchange of lithium by hydrogen in acid water solutions with formation of TiO(OH)(2). The crystal structure of TiO(OH)(2) belongs to the layered double hydroxide structure type with the 3R(1) sequence of oxygen layers and can be described as a stacking of charge-neutral metal oxyhydroxide slabs [(OH)(2)OTi2O(OH)(2)]. TiO(OH)(2) is the first layered double hydroxide structure formed by a cation with oxidation state +4 only.
