Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 thin films on organic self-assembled monolayers: Part I. Film formation from aqueous solutions
Source abstract
Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) bearing sulfonate (-SO3H) surface functional groups, on single-crystal Si wafers, were used as substrates for the deposition of TiO2 thin films from aqueous solutions. Polycrystalline TiO2 thin films over 50 nm thick formed in 2 h by hydrolysis of TiCl4 in aqueous HCI solutions at 80 °C. The films were pore-free, showed excellent adherence and uniformity, and consisted of anatase crystallites 2–4 nm in diameter. Annealing at temperatures up to 600 °C caused coarsening of the anatase grains, but no loss of adherence or structural integrity.
