Abstract: Anatase-type titanium dioxide filmson the titanium sponge substrate with grain size of about 0.5 m m were prepared by onestep hydrothermal treatment using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and potassiumhydroxide as mineralizer, and the photocatalytic property of the as-preparedfilms was determined by the degradation of the methylene blue under irradiationof UV light. The effects of the concentration of potassium hydroxide on the crystalphase, morphology and photocatalytic property of titanium dioxide films were alsostudied. The results showed that potassium hydroxide promoted the crystallizationof thetitaniumdioxide. And with a concentration of 0.12mol/L of potassium hydroxide solution,the film had the best photocatalytic property with a 95% degradation rate after45 min UV-irradiation. The as-prepared TiO2 films could be easilyrecycled and the photocatalytic property of recycled films was not markedlydecreased.

Key words: sponge titanium, titanium oxide film, photocatalytic property
