Photocatalytic properties of Au/TiO2 thin films prepared by RF magnetron co-sputtering

Optical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2/Ag–SiO2 nanocomposite thin films

“…Moreover, the noble metals deposited SiO 2 thin films [23,24] and TiO 2 thin films [25][26][27][28] were prepared to improve the recycle property of the photocatalyst. To the best of our knowledge, metal deposited bis-oxide thin film as photocatalyst has hardly been reported so far.…”

Optical and transport properties of Ti‐doped In2O3 thin films prepared by electron beam physical vapour deposition

“…Those values are in agreement with those already reported for films prepared by several techniques. Typical resistivities in the 10 −4 Ω cm range have been obtained by Gupta et al 6 for film deposited by PLD from 5 wt.% Ti targets; Sung and Han 7 have reported a resistivity of 1.4 × 10 −3 Ω cm for films prepared by magnetic null discharge sputtering using a target sintered with 90 wt.% In 2 O 3 and 10 wt.% TiO 2 concentration and, on the other hand, van Hest et al 4 and Abe and Ishiyama 12 have given an account of a minimum of the resistivity depending on the actual film Ti content, being ∼1 × 10 −4 Ω cm for films with 3 at.% Ti content. Regarding the limit of resistivity pointed out by Bellingham et al 13, it should be noted that in the hypothesis that a carrier concentration of 2.1 × 10 −27 m −3 is obtained by the whole In 3+ substitution by Ti 4+ in the Ti(6.6%):In 2 O 3 sample, resistivity values show excellent results.…”

“…The transparency and electrical properties of the Ti‐doped In 2 O 3 system have been reported for films prepared by sputtering 4, by pulsed laser deposition 6 or by magnetic null discharge sputter source 7, resulting in an excellent transparent conductive oxide with good electrical conductivity and high mobility work function tenability properties.…”

Thermal stability of Au–TiO2 nanocomposite films prepared by direct liquid injection CVD

“…Therefore, they are extensively used in photocatalytic [17][18] and optical applications [19][20]. It should also be noted that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have earlier been used as co-catalysts with TiO 2 to improve charge separation through interfacial charge transfer from TiO 2 to metal nanoparticles upon UV illumination [21][22].…”
