TiAl2O5
Tialite · Aluminum titanate
Tialite is a thermally stable, insulating ceramic oxide used primarily for its resistance to extreme temperatures and chemical environments.
About Tialite
TiAl2O5, commonly known as tialite, is a ceramic oxide that functions as a wide-gap insulator. Its structural characteristics and near-hull thermodynamic stability make it a subject of interest for high-temperature applications where structural integrity is paramount.
As a member of the broader oxide catalyst family, it is valued for its chemical robustness. It is frequently investigated for its potential in specialized industrial environments that require materials capable of withstanding significant thermal stress without degradation.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Tialite, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.

How It Compares
Within the spinel oxide catalysts class.
Unlike the highly active transition metal oxides such as CuO or NiO, which are frequently utilized for their redox-active surface properties, TiAl2O5 acts as a more stable, insulating framework. While it shares the oxide classification with materials like MgAl2O4 or Al2O3, its specific stoichiometry allows for unique structural arrangements that distinguish it from the more common perovskite-structured catalysts like LaMnO3.
