Liquid phase processing and thin film deposition of titania nanocrystallites for photocatalytic applications on thermally sensitive substrates
Source abstract
Abstract
Titania films were deposited from sols peptized in acidic conditions and subsequently autoclaved. The microstructural, morphological, optical, and photocatalytic properties of titania films were studied with respect to sol-gel processing parameters. It is shown that films deposited at room temperature are well-crystallized and exhibit good optical quality. Their photocatalytic activity was verified through malic acid decomposition tests. From comparisons with a previous work, processing the sol in acidic conditions is found to be more advantageous than in basic conditions. Using this low temperature approach, titania films could be deposited on thermally sensitive polymer substrates for new photocatalytic applications.
