Fabrication of anatase-type TiO2 films by reactive pulsed laser deposition for photocatalyst application

Photocatalytic TiO2 films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering at different oxygen partial pressure

“…For excess oxygen pressure (70%), the surface roughness of the TiO 2 films rises again (5.07 nm). A similar observation was reported for anatase-type TiO 2 films by reactive pulsed laser deposition for photocatalyst application [23].…”

Titanium Oxide Nanotubes: Synthesis of Anatase Phase, Characterization and Photocatalytic Application

“…Under the applied potential, the titanium-oxygen bonds undergo polarization and weakening, with an increase in the titanium oxide dissolution as a consequence. 31 …”

Film-form ZnO/AAO photo-catalysts: Facile synthesis and surface feature-dependent photo-catalytic activity

“…In 9 particular, a large number of chemicals have been extensively 10 used aiming at improving the daily living conditions, but these 11 compounds are toxic and/or persistent, thereby potentially 12 threatening the environment and human health [1][2][3]. For 13 example, the widely used methyl orange in printing, paper, 14 textiles, pharmaceutical and food industries has been proved to be 15 toxic and could induce cancers in human [4,5]. The photo-catalytic 16 technique supplies a good chance for us to degrade these chemicals 17 via a green route using the solar energy.…”

“…However, it is notable that the 32 nano-scale size also brings inconvenient at the complex operation 33 and recycling process, which increase the investment costs [11]. 34 A limited number of reports have revealed that the film-form 35 photo-catalysts have the obvious superiority while application in 36 environment [11,15,16]. The major reasons can be explained by the 37 relatively simple performance and separation properties.…”

“…application [15]. Second, when these nano-materials are toxic to 294 human, they will become new pollutants [28][29][30][31][32].…”
