Abstract:

 TiO_2 nanoparticulate films were prepared by means of Plasma-enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). By further surface treatment by TiCl_4 or O_2 plasma, films with different surface properties were obtained. It was found that treatment by TiCl4 plasma enhanced the amount of Ti3+ surface state and Ti dislocation of the film, detected by the surface photovoltage spectroscopy, while O_2 plasma surface treating enhanced its amount of O_2 surface state. It was also indicated by the H_2O adsorption experiment that film treated by O_2 plasma had larger separation efficiency for photogenerated carriers than the one treated by TiCl_4 plasma.

Key words: PECVD, TiO2 nanoparticulate film, SPS, Surface treatment, Surface state
