TiO2 (anatase) nanoparticle samples characterization
Nanoparticle TiO2 layers on glass substrate were prepared in Institute
of Surface Chemistry NASU (Kiev) with film drawing from viscous
solution (precursor). The precursor was prepared with sol-gel technique
using Titanium(IV) isopropoxide, acetic acid, -terpineol (to control
viscosity). Polyethylenе glycol with molecular weights 300 (PEG 300)
and 1000 (PEG 1000) were used as pore and complexing agents.
The drawing layers on glass substrate were treated 1 hour at 5000 C.
Multilayer films are annealed at the same conditions after each layer
deposition. Thicknesses 100 – 1000 nm, porosity 34-39%
XRD -TiO2 layers contain nanocrystals of only single phase – anatase
TEM – nanoparticle mean diameter 16 nm (distribution 5 - 30 nm)
