Figure 66 SEM cross section images of A) TiO2, B) Ti0.5Zr0.5O2 and C) ZrO2 calc<strong>in</strong>ed at 600ºC<br />

The surfaces of the DEA-layers were studied with XRD to identify the crystall<strong>in</strong>e phase<br />

of the membrane layer. However, only the crystall<strong>in</strong>e support material could be observed.<br />

Focussed Raman spectroscopy studies observed crystall<strong>in</strong>e phase and are compared with<br />

the electron diffraction patterns obta<strong>in</strong>ed by means of high resolution transmission<br />

electron microscopy (HR-TEM).<br />

Figure 67-A present the HR-TEM image of the 25 nm TiO2 layer calc<strong>in</strong>ed at 500ºC.<br />

Rough estimation of the particle size diameter would be 5-10 nm. The particle sizes<br />

observed with TEM does not seem to change significantly from the particle size <strong>in</strong> the<br />
