Abstract: TiO2 thin film photocatalyst was prepared by the sol-gel method with acrylic acid acted as the surface modifier. The TEM images showed that the aggregation of TiO2 particles in the sol could be remarkably inhibited due to the modification of acrylic acid. The result of XRD and AFM analysis indicated that rapid grain growth of Nano- TiO2 particles could be suppressed also by the modification in thermal treatments and the transformation temperature of anatase to rutile (A→R) was extended into more high range of 800-1000℃ compared with the unmodified TiO2

Key words: surface modification, thermal aggregation, phase transformation, TiO2 thin film
