摘要
Thin films of titanium oxide (TiO2) are synthesized at room temperature by the post-discharge of an RF atmospheric plasma torch supplied with argon and oxygen. Vapours of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) precursor are injected in the post-discharge by an argon flow rate bubbling in the liquid precursor. Without any external substrate heating, the coatings are amorphous and characterized by a thin film upon which agglomerates can be observed. The annealing of the coatings at 450 degrees C is efficient to (partially) crystallize the TiO2 since bands characteristic of the TiO2 anatase structure are observed in Raman spectra. The films are super-hydrophilic and present excellent photocatalytic activity; two properties of particular interest for self-cleaning applications. Nevertheless, annealed coating presents a higher photocatalytic activity. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
