Tetraethyl Titanate

Titanium tetraethylate (TEOT), also referred to as titanium ethoxide with the chemical formula Ti(OC₂H₅)₄, is an organic titanium alkoxide belonging to the metal alkoxide family. It has a strongly Lewis-acidic titanium center, which endows it with high reactivity in organic–inorganic hybrid systems. Its most notable property is its controllable high reactivity. Tetraethyl titanate is chemically stable under anhydrous conditions but undergoes rapid hydrolysis in the presence of moisture to form a three-dimensional TiO₂ network structure, serving as a key precursor for the preparation of high-performance TiO₂-based functional materials in the fine chemical industry.

Product Overview

 

In industrial applications, TEOT offers multiple advantages. Its hydrolysis rate can be precisely controlled by adjusting the water-to-alcohol ratio. It can form uniform and stable metal oxide structures and shows excellent compatibility with a wide range of alcohol-based solvents. In addition, it provides a broad processing window suitable for large-scale industrial production. As a multifunctional raw material, titanium tetraethylate can serve as a sol-gel precursor, crosslinking agent, and functional additive in catalytic systems. Tetraethyl titanate is widely used in sol-gel technology, coating modification, functional ceramics, optical film fabrication, nanomaterial synthesis, and catalytic material preparation.
