Abstract

During the heat treatment of an anatase nanocrystalline powder at a high temperature, the two processes of anatase-to-rutile (A → R) transformation and grain growth would occur simultaneously and affect each other. With decrease of the original anatase grain size, the A → R transformation temperature range became extended on both sides, which may be partially attributed to the prevention effect of grain growth on this transformation. On the other hand, the grain growth process could be significantly enhanced by the A → R transformation, which can be ascribed to the higher atomic mobility because of the bond breakage during the transformation.
