This paper describes the application of electrophoretic deposition for air pollution removal using anatase as a photoactive coating. In this study, the anatase form of TiO 2 has been applied to (1) fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass; (2) 304L stainless steel; and (3) titanium substrates using isopropanol and acetylacetonebased solutions at 20, 40, 60 and 80 V. In order to increase the strength of the substrate-anatase interface without transforming the phase into rutile, samples were calcined at 450°C for 2 h. The resulting coatings were characterised by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, non-contact optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy.The photocatalytic activity of the deposited coatings were evaluated in the gas phase for nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) removal by electron ionisation mass spectrometry, whilst irradiated by light of wavelength 376-387 nm for 100 min. Anatase phase titania supported on a FTO-coated glass substrate showed the highest photoactivity for NO 2 remediation. This was attributed to the formation of a threedimensional nanostructure with properties determined by the deposition conditions. This work provides routes for the development of low-cost and large area photoactive coatings for pollution control.

“…TNTs were synthesized via hydrothermal method (Kim et al 2006). In hydrothermal method, 2 g of titania nanoparticles (P25 Degussa) were dispersed in 10 M NaOH (aq) solution by stirring for 30 min followed by transferring into a Teflon lined autoclave and kept at 150°C for 48 h. The resultant product was washed with 0.1 M HCl and distilled water until the pH becomes 8.5.…”

“…Highest efficiency of 11.2 % has been reported for mesoporous titania nanoparticles (TNPs)-based DSSCs (Chiba et al 2006;Gao et al 2008). However, due to high charge carrier recombination in TNP-based electrode, further enhancement of efficiency is a great challenge (Kim et al 2006;Roy et al 2011). To overcome the charge recombination problem in nanoparticles (NP), 1-D structures such as nanotubes (Lei et al 2010;Park et al 2008), nanorods (Liu and Aydil 2009;De Marco et al 2010) and nanobelt (Dong et al 2011;Pan et al 2009) have been proposed and successfully implemented in DSSC.…”

In this investigation, the effect of concentration of TiCl 4 for the post-treatment of hydrothermally synthesized titania nanotubes-based working electrode for dyesensitized solar cells has been studied. Hydrothermally synthesized TiO 2 nanotubes were treated with different concentrations of TiCl 4 to investigate the effect of TiCl 4 concentration. The solar cell performance increased with the increase in TiCl 4 concentration up to 0.5 M and leveled off. The best solar cell showed a short-circuit current density (J sc ), open-circuit voltage (V oc ), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (g) of 12.75 mA/cm 2 , 795 mV, 69.2 % and 7.04 %, respectively, while untreated TiO 2 nanotube showed J sc , V oc , FF and g of 2.4 mA/cm 2 , 899 mV, 78.9 % and 1.7 %, respectively.

“…The EPD syntheses of materials have several advantages including the cost effectiveness, preparation of homogeneous coated layer, controllable conditions, and binder-free process [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Nevertheless, a significant problem for EPD thick layers is the cracks formation.…”

Modified multistep electrophoretic deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles to prepare high quality thin films for dye-sensitized solar cell

2012

In this study, a modified procedure is introduced which consists of multistep process for improving the structure of mesoporous TiO 2 films. The films were prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on FTO (FSnO 2 coated glass). It is shown that high quality TiO 2 film can be produced by multistep EPD method. The effect of EPD time on the thickness and density of the films have been investigated. The performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that were fabricated by improved layer are tested under AM 1.5 simulated sunlight. Finally, the structure and effective parameters of DSSCs that were fabricated by one step and multistep EPD are investigated precisely, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
