Abstract

TiO2 (titania) particulate films with mesostructured silica (SiO2) as binder were prepared by drying glass substrate coated with an aqueous mixture of titania particles, tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB) at appropriate temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and IR absorption measurements on the obtained films revealed the formation of titania particles/silica composite thin film. XRD patterns at low angle region on these films indicated silica binder has well-ordered lamellar type mesostructure. These films show characteristic properties on both high absorption ability and photocatalytic activity to oxidative degradation of gaseous 2-propanol.
