TiO₂ thin films by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis as photocatalytic material for air purification.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we showed that the TiO₂ thin films deposited onto window glass are practicable for air purification and self-cleaning applications. TiO₂ films were deposited onto window glass by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. Different deposition temperatures were used in the range of 250-450°C. The structural, morphological, optical properties and surface chemical composition were investigated to understand probable factors affecting photocatalytic performance and wettability of the TiO₂ thin films. The TiO₂ thin films were smooth, compacted and adhered adequately on the substrate with a thickness in the range of 100-240 nm. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that all the TiO₂ thin films consisted of anatase phase structure with t
