Abstract
Synthesis of boron-doped anatase TiO2 thin films on temperature-sensitive polymeric optical fibres by AP-PECVD.
Highlights
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been the most widely studied photocatalytic material, due to its high photocatalytic activity, durability toward extended photocatalytic cycles, mechanical robustness and chemical inertness over a wide range of pH and voltages.[1]
The B-TiO2 thin lms, with enhanced photocatalytic properties, were formed from the one-step Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reaction of titanium ethoxide and boron isopropoxide activated by an atmospheric plasma generated in a microwave cavity using argon as the plasma gas
The deposition of crystalline and doped anatase TiO2 at atmospheric pressure and by a drying process operating at low temperature (i.e.
Summary
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been the most widely studied photocatalytic material, due to its high photocatalytic activity, durability toward extended photocatalytic cycles, mechanical robustness and chemical inertness over a wide range of pH and voltages.[1]. A er the macroscopic observations, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis (Fig. 1d and e) con rmed that both the undoped and boron-doped TiO2 thin lms were well adhered to the polymer optical bres (POFs).
