ABSTRACT |
Nano-size Au particle doped $TiO_2$ films were prepared with $Ti(OC_3H_7^i)_4$, polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP), $HAuCl_4$ and $C_3H_7OH$ etc. by sol-gel method. $TiO_2$ gel films were obtained by the dip-coating method on the $SiO_2$ glass substrates, and then heat-treated at $700^{circ}C$ for 10 min. The thickness of $TiO_2$ films were $0.7~1.8;{mu}m$. It was found that the thickness of films prepared from PVP containing solution was about $2~8$ times higher values than that of thin films without PVP. The size of Au particles doped in the films were about $350~750;nm$. Nano-size Au particle dispersed $TiO_2$ films showed high absorption peak at visible region 450nm, which made them good candidates for non-linear optical materials and photo-catalytic materials. The contact angle of $TiO_2$ film for water was $12.5^{circ}$, and therefore it is clear that $TiO_2$ films have very high hydrophilic properties and the self-cleaning effects. |
