Abstract
Thin films of anatase titanium dioxide are deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates utilizing the electric field-assisted aerosol (EA)CVD reaction of titanium isopropoxide in toluene at 450 °C. The as-deposited films are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The photoactivity and antibacterial activity of the films are also assessed. The characterization analysis reveals that the use of an electric field affects the film microstructure, its preferential orientation, and the functional properties. XRD of the anatase films reveals that the application of electric fields causes a change in the preferential orientation of the films from (101) to (004) or (211) planes, depending on the strength of the applied field during the deposition.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) publishes Reviews, Short Communications, and Full Papers on all aspects of chemical vapor deposition and related technologies, along with other articles presenting opinion, news, conference information, and book reviews. All papers are peer-reviewed. The journal provides a unified forum for chemists, physicists, and engineers whose publications on chemical vapor deposition have in the past been spread over journals covering inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, organometallics, applied physics and semiconductor technology, thin films, and ceramic processing.
