A successful electrophoretic deposition (EPD) markedly depends on the stability of the suspension. In this study the role of Triethanolamine (TEA) as a stabilizer in EPD of thick films of TiTe3O8 is presented. TiTe3O8 powders were synthesized via a conventional solid-state-reaction method and dispersed in acetone with and without TEA. The stability of the suspensions was addressed by zeta-potential, UV light and FTIR measurements. The specific adsorption of TEA to TiTe3O8 particles results in a high zeta potential and improved stability of the suspensions, allowing the preparation of high quality TiTe3O8 thick films on Pt coated Si substrates. TiTe3O8 films sintered at 700 °C are dense and homogeneous.
