Morphology and natural wettability properties of sol-gel derived TiO2-SiO2 composite thin films

Previous studies suggest that granular interfaces induce a natural and persistent super-hydrophilicity in TiO₂-SiO₂ composite thin films deposited by sol-gel route. This effect enables to consider self-cleaning applications that do not require a permanent UV exposure, whereas such a permanent exposure is necessary for pure TiO₂ films. In this study, TiO₂-SiO₂ composite thin films have been deposited from a TiO₂ anatase crystalline suspension and different SiO₂ polymeric sols. Wettability studies show that a suitable control of the TiO₂-SiO₂ mixed sol formulations noticeably enhances persistence of the natural super-hydrophilicity in composite films. It is shown that, beside granular interface effects, modifications in the composite film morphologies can noticeably influence wettability properties.

Substrate effects on the oxygen gas sensing properties of SnO2/TiO2 thin films

In this study, SnO₂/TiO₂ thin films are fabricated on SiO₂/Si and Corning glass 1737 substrates using a R.F. magnetron sputtering process. The gas sensing properties of these films under an oxygen atmosphere with and without UV irradiation are carefully examined. The surface structure, morphology, optical transmission characteristics, and chemical compositions of the films are analyzed by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and PL spectrometry. It is found that the oxygen sensitivity of the films deposited on Corning glass 1737 substrates is significantly lower than that of the films grown on SiO₂/Si substrates. Therefore, the results suggest that SiO₂/Si is an appropriate substrate material for oxygen gas sensors fabricated using thin SnO₂/TiO₂ films.     

Preparation and characterization of amine-functionalized SiO2/TiO2 films for formaldehyde degradation

This paper investigated the gaseous formaldehyde degradation by the amine-functionalized SiO₂/TiO₂ photocatalytic films for improving indoor air quality. The films were synthesized via the co-condensation reaction of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). The physicochemical properties of prepared photocatalysts were characterized with N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR). The effect of amine-functional groups and the ratio of MTMOS/APTMS precursors on the formaldehyde adsorption and photocatalytic degradation were investigated. The results showed that the formaldehyde adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of the APTMS-functionalized SiO₂/TiO₂ film was higher than that of SiO₂/TiO₂ film due to the surface adsorption on amine sites and the relatively high of the specific surface area of the APTMS-functionalized SiO₂/TiO₂ film (15 times higher than SiO₂/TiO₂). The enhancement of the formaldehyde degradation of the film can be attributed to the synergetic effect of adsorption and subsequent photocatalytic decomposition. The repeatability of photocatalytic film was also tested and the degradation efficiency was 91.0% of initial efficiency after seven cycles.     

XPS investigation of diffusion of two-layer ZrO2/SiO2 and SiO2/ZrO2 sol–gel films

Two-layer ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films were deposited on K9 glass substrates by sol–gel dip coating method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique was used to investigate the diffusion of ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films. To explain the difference of diffusion between ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films, porous ratio and surface morphology of monolayer SiO₂ and ZrO₂ films were analyzed by using ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found that for the ZrO₂/SiO₂ films there was a diffusion layer with a certain thickness and the atomic concentrations of Si and Zr changed rapidly; for the SiO₂/ZrO₂ films, the atomic concentrations of Si and Zr changed relatively slowly, and the ZrO₂ layer had diffused through the entire SiO₂ layer. The difference of diffusion between ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films was influenced by the microstructure of SiO₂ and ZrO₂.     

Deposition and characterization of binary Al2O3/SiO2 coating layers on the surfaces of rutile TiO2 and the pigmentary properties

Binary Al₂O₃/SiO₂-coated rutile TiO₂ composites were prepared by a liquid-phase deposition method starting from Na₂SiO₃·9H₂O and NaAlO₂. The chemical structure and morphology of binary Al₂O₃/SiO₂ coating layers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, TG-DSC, Zeta potential, powder X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Binary Al₂O₃/SiO₂ coating layers both in amorphous phase were formed at TiO₂ surfaces. The silica coating layers were anchored at TiO₂ surfaces via Si-O-Ti bonds and the alumina coating layers were probably anchored at the SiO₂-coated TiO₂ surfaces via Al-O-Si bonds. The formation of continuous and dense binary Al₂O₃/SiO₂ coating layers depended on the pH value of reaction solution and the alumina loading. The binary Al₂O₃/SiO₂-coated TiO₂ composites had a high dispersibility in water. The whiteness and brightness of the binary Al₂O₃/SiO₂-coated TiO₂ composites were higher than those of the naked rutile TiO₂ and the SiO₂-coated TiO₂ samples. The relative light scattering index was found to depend on the composition of coating layers.     

A new method to characterizing surface roughness of TiO2 thin films

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) thin films have been widely coated in the self-cleaning glass for facade application. The benefit of these glasses is its ability to actively decompose organic compounds with the help of ultraviolet light. Understanding the surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films is important before manufacturing of self-cleaning glasses using TiO₂ thin films because surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films has highly significant influence on the photocatalytic performance. Traditional approach for measuring surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films is atomic force microscopy. The disadvantage of this approach include long lead-time and slow measurement speed. To solve this problem, an optical inspection system for rapidly measuring the surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films is developed in this study. It is found that the incident angle of 60° is a good candidate for measuring surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films and y=90.391x+0.5123 is a trend equation for predicting the surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films. Roughness average (Ra) of TiO₂ thin films (y) can be directly determined from the peak power density (x) using the optical inspection system developed. The results were verified by white-light interferometer. The measurement error rate of the optical inspection system developed can be controlled by about 8.8%. The saving in inspection time of the surface roughness of TiO₂ thin films is up to 83%.     

Effects of deposition rates on laser damage threshold of TiO2/SiO2 high reflectors

TiO₂ single layers and TiO₂/SiO₂ high reflectors (HR) are prepared by electron beam evaporation at different TiO₂ deposition rates. It is found that the changes of properties of TiO₂ films with the increase of rate, such as the increase of refractive index and extinction coefficient and the decrease of physical thickness, lead to the spectrum shift and reflectivity bandwidth broadening of HR together with the increase of absorption and decrease of laser-induced damage threshold. The damages are found of different morphologies: a shallow pit to a seriously delaminated and deep crater, and the different amorphous-to-anatase-to-rutile phase transition processes detected by Raman study. The frequency shift of Raman vibration mode correlates with the strain in film. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis reveals that impurities and non-stoichiometric defects are two absorption initiations resulting to the laser-induced transformation.     

Effects of coating parameters on the morphology of SiO2-coated TiO2 and the pigmentary properties

SiO₂-coated TiO₂ powders were prepared by the chemical deposition method starting from rutile TiO₂ and Na₂SiO₃. The SiO₂-coated TiO₂ powders were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Zeta-potential analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The evolution of island-like and uniform coating layers was found to depend upon the ratio of Na₂SiO₃ to TiO₂, reaction temperature, and pH. The whiteness and brightness of the SiO₂-coated TiO₂ powders increased in response to an increase in the SiO₂ loading, but there was a maximum value among the light scattering indexes. The SiO₂-coated TiO₂ powders possessed more negative Zeta potentials than the naked TiO₂. The dispersibility of the SiO₂-coated TiO₂ powders with the continuous and uniform SiO₂ coating layers was higher than that of the naked TiO₂ and the SiO₂-coated TiO₂ powders with the island-like SiO₂ coating layers.
