Preparation and Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 Thin Films on Al Alloys

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2012.00638

Abstract

Abstract: Using anodized 6061 aluminum alloy and pure aluminum as the templates, TiO₂ thin films were prepared through a liquid deposition method. The TiO₂ thin film fabricated on the 6061 aluminum alloy substrates appears as bamboo-like structures with holes, whereas that prepared on anodized pure aluminum substrate has one-dimensional tubular structures. The main reason is that magnesium in aluminum alloy is oxidized to form magnesium oxide which has a lower volume than that of Al₂O₃. The photocatalytic ability of the TiO₂ films prepared on the aluminum alloy is superior to that of the films fabricated on the pure aluminum. TiO₂prepared on aluminum alloy has higher specific surface area due to its bamboo-like structures with holes, leading to better performance in the degradation of methylene blue. The photocatalytic performance of the TiO₂ by the degradation of aqueous methylene blue is in accordance with the first kinetic equation. TiO₂films deposited in 0.1 mol/L (NH₄) TiF₆ solution obtain the best photocatalytic performance at apparent reaction rate of 0.00444/min.
