The Photocatalytic Activity and Photocurrent Properties of Ag Loaded TiO2 thin film

doi:10.7517/j.issn.1674-0475.2006.01.44

Abstract

Abstract: Ag nanoparticles of three different sizes were prepared. The sizes of the Ag nanoparticles were measured by TEM. The TiO₂ thin films doped with Ag were characterized using photocurrent measurement. The photocatalytic activities of the films were evaluated on degradation of methylene blue under UV radiation. The photocurrent and photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ films were improved in some extent when loaded with Ag of different sizes. When the particle size was 6.9 nm, the photocurrent and photocatalytic activity reached the maximum.

Key words: Ag nanoparticles, TiO₂ thin films, photodegradation, methylene blue
