abstract

in this paper, a modified sol-gel method using peroxotitanic acid sol (pta) was applied for the preparation of tio2 nanostructured thin films on glass plates. the peroxotitanic acid sol was synthesized using titanium isopropoxide, isopropylalchol, h2o and hydrogen peroxide. tio2 films were then calcined at 500oc and characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). xrd results showed that increasing the number of coated layers would lead to the formation of anatase phase at high level. addition of polyethylene glycol (peg) on the pta sol could cause uniform coating without any cracks. the photocatalytic performance of the obtained films was investigated by the photodegradation measurements of reactive red 222 (rr222) in a batch reactor. for further investigations the effect of some parameters such as initial rr222 concentration, ph value, hydrogen peroxide addition and temperature on the photocatalytic performance of tio2 thin films was studies as the important factors. kinetic study results of this reaction represented that it obeys of was pseudo-first-order model. the degradation of rr22 was enhanced by the addition of optimum amount of hydrogen peroxide. this is due to the increasing amount of the radical hydroxyls.

Structural and Optical Properties of Sr-Modified Bismuth Silicate Nanostructured Films Synthesized by Sol Gel Method

In this work, the effects of strontium addition on the structure and optical properties of nanostructured bismuth silicate (Bi4Si3O12) thin films prepared via sol-gel were studied. At first, different sols containing the optimum ratio of precursors were synthesized, and then, the prepared sols were coated on the substrate via dip coating. The dip coated samples were dried at 100oC and, in order...

Studies on sol-gel dip-coated nanostructured ZnO thin films

Nanostructured ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating technique. Zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide were used as precursors and ethanol was as solvent. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) solution was added drop-wise under vigorous stirring to obtain the sol-gel of different pH (varying from 6.9 to 7.2). ZnO thin films were obtained by dipping the glass substrates for few seconds and then ...
