摘要：

TiO2 thin films were fabricated with optimization of the synthesis parameters for efficient photocatalysis. The films were sculptured from gels obtained from Ti(O-i Pr)(4) and Ti(OBus)(4) via spin coating at different rotation speed ranging from 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm. Thicknesses of the films were in the range of approximate to 112-160 nm. The X-ray diffractograms showed a phase transformation from anatase to rutile along with an increase in average crystallite size from 11 nm to 18 nm with a decrease in thickness of the films. Refractive index (n) values of the films were in the range of 2.50-3.45 while extinction coefficient (k) values ranged from 0.090 to 0.860. These films were transparent with high transmittance (T <= 95%) in the visible region. The optical band gaps for films were calculated to be in the range of 3.00-3.95 eV. Photocatalytic degradations of methylene blue by the fabricated TiO2 thin films have also been investigated. (C) 2015 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.
