The morphological characterizations of titanium dioxide (TiO2) via sol-gel method

Abstract

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) has comes with many fascinating properties in environmental purification, photocatalytic activity and in sensor application. TiO2 is prepared by sol-gel method and been coated on the silicon oxide (SiO) and glasses for 1 layer, 3 layers, 5 layers and finally 7 layers to find the best layer for coating purpose. A few characterizations had been carried out such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Photoluminescence (PL) and Current-Voltage (I-V) measurement for TiO2. The I-V recorded for the presence of Interdigitated Electrode (IDE) is 2.46×10−10 at 1V increased from 2.24×10−10 without the coating of TiO2. TiO2 coated on IDE triggered more sensitive sensor compared to IDE without metal oxides coated.
