Abstract
Titanium oxide (TiO2) thin film was obtained using the spray pyrolysis method. The structural properties of the thin film obtained were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and it was found that it also had a tetragonal structure. The morphological feature was examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the optical properties of the film were examined and the forbidden energy range was calculated. Photocatalytic properties of TiO2 thin film on dyestuff and antibiotic were investigated. Methyl blue and malachite green were used in the dye degradation test of the thin film. In particular, it was found to have a high degradation of 86% after 100 minutes on malachite green. Moreover, the degradation on ciprofloxacin after 90 minutes was found as 93%. The reusability ciprofloxacin antibiotic was investigated and it was found that synthesized TiO2 thin film has excellent stability
Highlights
Environmental pollution has become a critical problem that treat the quality of human life
The main goal of this study investigates photocatalytic degradation performance of the prepared thin film by degradation ciprofloxacin antibiotic and two different dyes including malachite green and methyl blue dye in aqueous solution under solar light simulator
TiO2 thin film was successfully synthesized by spray pyrolysis methods on glass substrate
Summary
Sütçü İmam University, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey; 3 Physics Department, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. Titanium oxide (TiO2) thin film was obtained using the spray pyrolysis method. The structural properties of the obtained thin film were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and it was found that it had a tetragonal structure. The optical properties of the film were examined and the bandgap energy was calculated. Photocatalytic properties of TiO2 thin film on different dyestuff and antibiotic were investigated. Methyl blue and malachite green were used in the dye degradation test of the thin film. It was found to have a high degradation of 86 % after 100 minutes on malachite green. The degradation on ciprofloxacin after 90 minutes was found as 93 %. The reusability ciprofloxacin antibiotic was investigated and it was found that synthesized TiO2 thin film has excellent stability and reusability.
