Formation of textured microstructure by mist deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles
Source abstract
Abstract
Unique and various textured TiO2 films have been easily fabricated by mist deposition method on silicon and glass substrates with mild preparation conditions. Two kinds of TiO2 nanoparticle with different shape, size, and crystal form were used as starting material, which resulted in a simple prepara- tion process under low temperature and ordinary pressure. It was easy to control the thickness, morphology, and roughness of textured TiO2 film by adjusting the mist deposition conditions such as deposition time, temperature, and the shape and size of nanoparticles. The optical properties of textured TiO2 films before and after spin coating of Ag nanoparticles were investigated. The angular depen- dence of the reflectance was obviously reduced by textured TiO2 surface and such effect was enhanced by Ag nanoparticles coating. A broad plasmon band of Ag grains was observed in the absorption spectrum of the textured Ag nanoparticle-coated TiO2 film.
