Naturally-occurring Ilmenite ore is usually a mixture of Ilmenite (FeTiO₃) and hematite (Fe₂O₃). Synthesized solid solutions of Ilmenite and hematite are known to have interesting magnetic and electric properties. In the
present study, we report that naturally occurring Ilmenite sintered with titanium dioxide also has low electrical resistivity and can be a natural resource for applications as electronic materials as envisaged for the system
Ilmenite-hematite.
