Abstract

In this work, flux method is used to control the surface morphologies and crystal structures of the fine K2Ti6O13 fibers. When K2CO3 as a flux is added into fine K 2Ti6O13 fibers and heated at 1100°C for 2h, the crystal of fibers are transformed to K2Ti4O 9 and K2Ti2O5, however, the resulting fibers have no significant change in morphologies. On the other hand, when KCl is used as flux (15wt%) and heated at 1200°C for 2h, the diameters of the resulting fibers become about 2 micron without any change of the crystal structure.
