International Conference on Physical Chemistry and Functional Materials, Erzurum, Türkiye, 19 - 21 Haziran 2018
Recently, nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles preparation and their applications in photovoltaic studies, photocatalysis and environmental studies (water and air purification) have attracted much attention among the researchers owing to inherent chemical stability, transparency, low cost, and minimal toxicity. In the past decade, the fabrication of TiO2 nanostructures by electrochemical anodization of titanium, which titanium foil was used as a substrate, was investigated by many researchers and the cathodic deposition of TiO2 was available only at a limited studies. In this study, cathodic electrodeposition of thin films of TiO2 from aqueous solutions was successfully provided in 0,04 M TiOSO4, 0,2 M H2O2, and 0,1 M KNO3 solution. The characterization of TiO2 thin films was performed by XRD, XPS, EDS, and SEM techniques. XRD spectrum of TiO2 was given in Figure 1.
