Photoluminescence of layered alkali-metal titanates (A2TinO2n+1, A = Na, K) at 300 and 77 K

Abstract
The photoluminescence of the layered titanates, K2Ti2O5, Na2Ti3O7, and K2Ti4O9 has been investigated. K2Ti2O5 showed a strong blue luminescence at room temperature. The luminescence of K2Ti2O5 was strongly affected by water intercalation and H+ exchange.
