Abstract

Study on fabrication of TiO2 thin films and their optical properties in UV-VIS spectrum has been conducted. TiO2 nanopowders were prepared by co-precipitation method with varying mixing duration for 5, 10 and 25 hours using TiCl3 as precursor. The as-synthesized TiO2 phase is anatase having crystalline size of 14.25 nm, 13.75 nm and 12.62, respectively for the corresponding mixing duration. Thin films of TiO2 were fabricated by spin coating method and then checked by XRD diffractometer and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer to examine their structure and band gap energy. The prepared films also contain anatase phase of TiO2 with respective band gap of 3.70 eV, 3.74 eV and 3.76 eV, depending on the powders and their treatment.
