Doping with metals is used to enhance the photocatalytic activity; however, its influence on the surface hydrophilicity remains to be studied. In this work, the effect of the heterovalent doping of titanium dioxide anatase on its hydrophilic properties has been investigated in detail. Thin <i>x</i>M–TiO₂ films, where the M symbol denotes Nb⁵⁺, Sc³⁺, and Al³⁺, with dopant concentrations of 0.0–1.0 at % have been obtained on glass substrates from solutions of corresponding sols by the deep coating method. The phase composition, surface dopant content, lattice microstress, surface acidity, and electron work function values have been determined and analyzed for three series of doped samples as functions of dopant concentrations. The surface hydrophilicity of <i>x</i>M–TiO₂ nanocoatings has been estimated by measuring water contact angle and surface free energy values. It has been shown that doping with niobium ions affects the wettability of titanium dioxide, while its hydrophilic state remains unchanged upon doping with scandium and aluminum ions. It has been found that the incorporation of niobium ions into anatase drastically increases the hydrophilicity of the surface with a simultaneous change in its acidity and work function. At the same time, as Nb content increases, the electronic factor prevails. The kinetic dependences obtained for the photoinduced water contact angles have shown an increase in the surface hydrophilicity of all investigated coatings irrespective of a dopant type within the studied dopant concentration range, thereby indicating their self-cleaning ability. At the same time, the final UV-induced hydrophilic state depends on a dopant type. The maximum surface hydrophilicity is achieved upon UV irradiation of TiO₂ doped with Nb regardless of its content. UV-irradiated Al-doped TiO₂ coatings exhibit small contact angles, while the photoinduced surface hydrophilicity of Sc-doped titanium dioxide films decreases with increasing scandium concentration.</p>","PeriodicalId":521,"journal":{"name":"Colloid Journal","volume":"86 5","pages":"757 - 779"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A drop forms a sphere on the surface and rolls down picking up dirt particles when the surface is slightly tilted. Diverse methods have been developed for producing such materials, and the potential of the ion-track technology (ITT) is being investigated. The goal of this work is to study the wettability of surface microtextures by the examples of two materials with different initial degrees of hydrophobicity. The ITT has been employed to obtain samples with maximum water contact angles of 140 ± 5° and 151 ± 5° by modifying the surfaces of polycarbonate and polypropylene films, respectively. It has been shown that such angles are characteristic of microtextures, for which surface fraction <i>f</i> that is in contact with a droplet is decreased to a range of 0 &lt; <i>f</i> &lt; 0.3. Materials with tilted microtextures have been obtained in order to increase the probability of droplet rolling down a material surface in a certain direction. In this case, the wettability becomes anisotropic. A droplet loses its spherical shape and is deformed in the direction of the tilt of needle-like surface elements. It has been found that the anisotropy of wettability is higher at a tilt angle of the texture elements of 45° than that at 30° (relative to the flat surface).</p>","PeriodicalId":521,"journal":{"name":"Colloid Journal","volume":"86 5","pages":"730 - 743"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
