The coating of fired clay substrates with various metal oxides, such as anatase, rutile, zinc oxide and tin oxide was achieved using a simple spraying technique followed by a thermal treatment. The photocatalytic activity of the layer was characterized through measurement of the absorption spectrum,
The problems raised by the immobilization (or anchoring) of a photocatalyst, namely TiO2, on a support are reviewed, from the standpoints of the procedure itself and of the structure, adherence, morphology and photocatalytic activity of the deposit. Some new experimental findings are also reported.
## Abstract Methods are described for the immobilisation of enzymes on inorganic supports activated by the surface deposition of an imperfectly crystallised film of TiO~2~. The stability of the preparations is shown to be strongly dependent on the integrity of the supportβTiO~2~ link which is in tu
