Brookite: Nothing New under the Sun? [PDF]
Catalysts, 2017 Advances in the synthesis of pure brookite and brookite-based TiO2 materials have opened the way to fundamental and applicative studies of the once least known TiO2 polymorph. Brookite is now recognized as an active phase, in some cases showing enhanced performance with respect to anatase, rutile or their mixture.

Tunable structure of TiO2 deposited by DC magnetron sputtering to adsorb Cr (VI) and Fe (III) from water [PDF]
HeliyonTiO2 thin films with mixtures of the anatase, rutile, and brookite phases were deposited on glass substrates via magnetron sputtering. Based on XRD and Raman results, the TiO2-0.47 and TiO2-3.47 films principally contained the brookite phase, while the ...
