Abstract Titanate nanosheet thick films were prepared on indium-tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates by electrophoretic deposition. Three types of sols with different preparation procedures and pH values were prepared. In the case of titanate nanosheet films prepared from a sol with pH=7.0, surface of the films was flat and nanosheets which deposited on substrates were uniformly dense. Titanate nanosheet thick film deposited from the sol using dimethyl ethanol amine for the exfoliation showed a high photocatalytic activity due to the high crystallinity
