Characterization data of titanate compounds synthesized using hydrothermal method at various temperature

Titanate compounds was synthesized using hydrothermal method at various temperature (100, 150, 200, and 250 °C) for 24 hours. As-synthesized titanate was characterized using FTIR, XRD and nitrogen gas adsorption. FTIR spectra was scanned from 4000 to 400 cm−1 using Perkin Elmer Spectrum 100 FTIR spectrophotometer. XRD diffractogram was performed by using Rigaku Miniflex (II) X-ray diffractometer operating at a scanning rate of 2.00° min−1. The diffraction spectra were recorded at the diffraction angle, 2θ from 10° to 80° at room temperature. Nitrogen gas adsorption analysis was studied by using Micromeritics ASAP2020 (Alaska) to determine the surface area and pores size distribution. The nitrogen adsorption and desorption was measured at 77 K (temperature of liquid nitrogen) and the samples were degassed in a vacuum at 110 °C under nitrogen flow for overnight prior to analysis.

Data
The dataset of this article provides information on characterization of titanate compounds produced using hydrothermal method at different temperature with commercial TiO 2 powder was used as precursor. Fig. 1 shows the FTIR spectra of TiO 2 precursor and as-synthesized titanate at 100, 150, 200, 250 C hydrothermal temperature and their FTIR band assignment is presented in Table 1. The XRD patterns of the TiO 2 precursor and as-synthesized titanate is shown in Fig. 2. While, Fig. 3 illustrates their N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm plot. The information about types of isotherms, hysteresis, pores and shape of pores as well as surface area, pore size and pore volume of the samples are tabulated in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.

Experimental design, materials, and methods
2.0 g of TiO 2 powder precursor (commercial TiO 2 Merck) was dispersed in 10 M NaOH (100 ml) with constant stirring for 30 minutes (500 rpm). Then, the mixture was sonicated in sonicator bath for 30 minutes, after that continue with constant stirring for 30 minutes (500 rpm). Subsequently, the mixture was transferred into teflon vessel and subjected to hydrothermal treatment at various   temperature (100, 150, 200, 250 C) for 24 hours in autoclave. When the reaction was completed, the white solid precipitate was collected and dispersed into 0.1 M HCL (200 ml) with continuous stirring for 30 minutes (500 rpm) for washing. Then, the washing was followed by using a distilled water until the pH of washing solution was 7 and subsequently dried at 80 C for 24 hours in an oven. Assynthesized sample at 100, 150, 200, and 250 C hydrothermal temperature denoted as HT100, HT150, HT200, and HT250, respectively. The obtained samples were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and nitrogen gas adsorption. Fig. 1 shows the FTIR spectra of TiO 2 precursor and as-synthesized sample. A broad band has been observed in the range of 3700-2800 cm À1 and 1800-1400 cm À1 . The metal-oxygen stretching mode has been detected below 1000 cm À1 attributed to the TieO bond. XRD analysis was carried out to study the phase structure of hydrothermally synthesized samples at different hydrothermal reaction temperature. For comparison the XRD pattern of TiO 2 precursors was also included.
As can be seen in Fig. 2(a) and (b), the TiO 2 precursor and as-synthesized sample at 100 C (HT100) assigned to anatase TiO 2 (JCPDS-ICDD No. 21e1272) [1]. Meanwhile for HT150, HT200 and HT250, their XRD is identical as hydrogen trititanate (JCPDS-ICDD No. 41e192) (Fig. 2 (c)) and sodium trititanate (JCPDS-ICDD No. 31e1392) (Fig. 2(d) and (e)), respectively [2]. These synthesized samples were assigned to trititanate compounds suggesting that the hydrothermal reaction of TiO 2 precursor and NaOH occurs to produce titanate compounds. Fig. 3 shows the N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm plot of the TiO 2 precursor and assynthesized samples at different hydrothermal temperature treatment. Table 2 shows the isotherm of studied samples exhibits a typical IV-like isotherm with H3 hysteresis [3]. Type IV isotherms is associated with capillary condensation in mesopore structures. While, the type H3 hysteresis represents slit shaped pores [4]. Table 3 possessed the BET surface area, pore size and pore volume of commercial TiO 2 precursor powder and synthesized sample as different hydrothermal treatment.
As shown in Table 3, the surface area of commercial TiO 2 precursor powder was only 10.07 m 2 /g. Nevertheless the surface area of the samples was increased after hydrothermal treatment. At 100 C hydrothermal treatment (HT100), the surface area was found to be 146.74 m 2 /g. Meanwhile, HT150 which is the sample prepared at 150 C hydrothermal treatment possessed the largest surface area (320.51 m 2 /g). The surface area of as-synthesized sample at 200 C (HT200) is 117.51 m 2 /g and the surface area of HT250 sample was found to be only 28.15 m 2 /g. The pore sizes of the synthesized samples are between 11.29 to 16.32 nm, which is in the mesopore range and large pore volume from 0.03 to 1.36 were good for adsorbent.
