Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocrystalline TiO₂ Thin Films by Sol-Gel Dip Coating Method

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films have been prepared by dip coating method. The TiO2 thin films have been coated on glass substrate and annealed at 400, 450 and 500° C respectively. The X- ray diffraction pattern shows that TiO2 nanocrystalline thin films are of anatase structure and the grain size is found to be in the range of 20-35 nm. The annealed films have been observed to be nanocrystalline in nature and the crystallinity has been observed to improve on annealing. The surface topography of the films has been studied using atomic force microscope. The optical properties have been studied using transmittance spectra. The band gap has been found to lie in the range of 3.70 to 3.83 eV depending on the annealing temperature.
