Synthesis of photosensitive nanograined TiO2 thin films by SILAR method

The Effect of SiO2Shell on the Suppression of Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2and ZnO Nanoparticles

“…Broad and blurred ring observed in SAED pattern of SiO 2 coated particles confirms an amorphous nature of SiO 2 coating as shown in Figure 5(b, d). 24 The FESEM, TEM and SAED result confirm the formation of amorphous silica over the polycrystalline TiO 2 and ZnO NPs.…”

Immersion Time and Annealing Temperature Effect on TiO2 Thin Films Deposited by Hydrothermal Method

“…In recent years, many studies related to the synthesis of nanostructures TiO 2 have been focused on the control of particle size as well as morphology. Many deposition methods like anodic oxidation, hydrothermal, chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel, electron beam evaporation, chemical bath deposition (CBD), spray pyrolysis, successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), and electrodeposition are employing [14] . It finds applications as photovoltaic cells, photocatalysis, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC's), gas sensors [15] , lithium batteries, light waveguides [16] , water purification, selfcleaning surfaces, sterilization, biocompatible coatings, corrosion protection coatings, high permittivity dielectric layers for electronic devices [17] , and hydrogen generation by water photoelectrolysis [18] .…”

Visible light-driven nitrogen doped TiO2 nanoarray films: Preparation and photocatalytic activity

“…Conventionally, TiO 2 coatings have been prepared by casting TiO 2 crystalline powder with organic binder and subsequently heating for removal of the organics [10][11][12]. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [13], magnetron sputtering [14], sol-gel method [15,16], ion beam assisted evaporation [17], thermal oxidation [18], successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction [19], and hydrothermal method [20] are also applicable for the production of homogeneous thin films.…”
