Preparation and Photocatalytic Property of TiO2 Columnar Nanostructure Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rutile TiO2 films with columnar nanostructure were prepared by combining the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique in magnetron sputtering system with the subsequent two-step annealing treatment. Experimental results showed that all the TiO2 films kept discrete columnar structures as the Ti films deposited by GLAD and accomplished the phase transition from Ti to rutile TiO2. Such TiO2 films performed photocatalytic activity effectively and reusably towards methyl orange under UV light irradiation, which demonstrates the potential applications in wastewater treatment.

متن کاملSTUDY OF ANNEALING TEMPERATURE VARIATION ON THE STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF DIP-COATED TiO2-SiO2 NANOSTRUCTURED FILMS
Abstract:In the present research, SiO2–TiO2 nanostructure films were successfully prepared on windshields using the sol–gel technique for photocatalytic applications. To prevent the thermal diffusion of the sodium ions from the glass to TiO2 films, the SiO2 layer was pre-coated on the glass by the sol–gel method. The substrates were dipped in the sol and withdrawn with the speed of 6cm/min-1 to...
