Aluminum-titanium mixed metal oxides with various compositions were synthesized by sol-gel method and the photocatalytic activities for acetaldehyde decomposition were investigated. A mixture of aluminum isopropoxide and titanium butoxide in isopropanol was used as a precursor, and composition was controlled by varying relative concentration of each precursor in a mixture. X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy were employed to examine crystalline structure and surface area of synthesized samples was determined by BET method. Although structure transformation from anatase to rutile phase was observed for all synthesized samples, the transformation temperature was found to depend on sample composition (Al/Ti ratio). Photocatalytic decomposition of acetaldehyde was carried out in a closed borosilicate reactor under visible light illumination. The photocatalytic activity was measured with respect to composition and it was found to be strongly dependent on sample composition. Aluminum-titanium mixed oxides showed higher photocatalytic activity for acetaldehyde decomposition than either pure titania or pure alumina.

Chemical species in the Ti-Al-Cl system at elevated temperatures were studied by effusion-beam mass spectrometry up to 1400 K.Gaseous TiAlCl5 and TiAlCl6 were identified as products of the reaction of TiCl4(g) and a Ti-Al mixture above about 900 K, for which AlCl3, TiCl2, and TiCl3 were also present.No evidence was found for TiAlCl7.When gaseous TiCl4, AlCl3, and H2O and admitted simultaneously, TiOCl2, Al(OH)Cl2, and TiAl(OH)Cl5 were observed.All ion species showed the correct isotopic distribution.The results confirm earlier indications that AlCl3 forms gaseous complexes with divalent and trivalent Ti, but not with tetravalent Ti.
