Study on structural, optical and hydrophilic properties of FTO/TiO2 tandem thin film prepared by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition method

The Phase Evolution and Photocatalytic Properties of a Ti-TiO2 Bilayer Thin Film Prepared Using Thermal Oxidation

“…Figure 2 shows X-ray diffraction patterns of samples that were oxidized in air for 3 h. When the temperature was set at 450 • C, we found that only the TiO 2 rutile phase was detected in sample 1. The formation of a single rutile phase at 450 • C is much lower than the formations synthesized using other methods [4,17]. An amorphous phase was found, since XRD peaks showed lower intensities for sample 1, which implied the coexistence of an amorphous structure and crystalline rutile.…”

“…Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) has been acknowledged as the most crucial photocatalyst that strongly resists chemical and photo-corrosion, is non-toxic, and has thermal stability [1]. Several methods have been introduced to synthesize TiO 2 thin films, such as the sol-gel method [2], the combustion method [3], the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method [4], and the sputtering method [5]. The magnetron sputtering technique was approved for providing solid substrate adhesion and a large area with uniform thickness [6,7].…”

Effect of the Preparation Method on the Properties of Eugenol-Doped Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Sol-Gel Coating on Titanium (Ti) Substrates

“…Though TiO 2 coatings can be obtained by several methods like magnetron sputtering [ 9 ], vapor deposition [ 10 ], and anodic oxidation [ 11 ], the most common preparation method is the sol-gel method. This method has countless advantages, among which mild chemical conditions can be highlighted, but at the same time, due to the prolonged nature of the aging and drying process, the method also requires a lot of attention.…”

“…The coatings are sometimes cured at high temperatures (above 600 °C), generating a rutile phase while under this anatase [ 9 ]. Though at lower heating temperatures, the formed crystallite has a smaller size [ 10 ], it was reported that it has a stronger antibacterial effect [ 18 ].…”

Bi2O3 modified TiO2 nanotube arrays and their application towards unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine degradation in wastewater by electroassisted photocatalysis

“…There were deficiencies of complex equipment operation, high reaction temperature which was difficult to determine the best activity of anatase crystal. Chemical combination type, there were chemical vapor deposition, 20 liquid phase deposition, 21 electrophoretic deposition, 22 continuous ion layer adsorption reaction 23 and hydrothermal method, 24 the reaction temperature is relatively lower. Masuda had developed a two-step molding process for fabricating a nanohole array of anodic porous alumina, 25 and Pt and Au nanotube arrays were further obtained by electrodeposition.…”
