✦ Synopsis


Titania thin films with high photocatalytic activity are successfully synthesized by combining the metalorganic deposition method (MOD) and the high-pressure crystallization (HPC) process. The crystallization temperature of anatase-type TiO 2 films is significantly reduced to as low as 150 β€’ C. TiO 2 thin films with crack-free surface and uniform morphology are obtained. The diffusion of silicon species from substrates into TiO 2 films is effectively suppressed. The HPC-derived TiO 2 thin films are demonstrated to have higher photocatalytic activity than those prepared via the conventional annealing process.
