Abstract
Silane coupling reagent ((CH 3O) 3Si(CH 2) 3SH) was self-assembled on the industrial glass substrates to form tow-dimensional organic monolayer and the terminal —SH functional group was oxidized into —SO 3H groups in situ. By exploiting the chemisorption properties of the —SO 3H group, titanium dioxide (TiO 2) thin films were prepared by deposition in aqueous HCI solution of TiCl 4 at 80°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that TiO 2 thin films were successfully prepared, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images confirmed that the films were consisted of packed TiO 2 crystallites over 100 nm in size. TiO 2 thin films were in excellent adherence. The synthesis of TiO 2 films has a prospect in industrial application.
