Titanium dioxide ( TiO2 ) thin films with different morphologies were synthesized on glass substrate using an electrostatic spray deposition method. Rod, flake and spherical-like nanostructures of TiO2 porous films with anatase phase could easily be obtained by tailoring the precursor solution concentration for atomization. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution was used as a probe to evaluate their photocatalytic activities. The rod-like nanostructured film produced higher photocatalytic activity than other films. The deposition of thin film photocatalyst on the substrate could not only solve the problem of separation and recovery of catalyst particles from the reaction medium, but also provide high photocatalytic activity even at a low catalyst loading of 0.057 g/l.

TiO2thin film enhanced by diethanolamine (DEA) and MCM-41 (D-TiO2/MCM-41) was successfully synthesized by sol-gel dip coating technique on glass slides. The roles of DEA and MCM-41 on physical and photocatalytic characteristics of the films were studied using various techniques such as x-ray defraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultra violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometry, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area analysis and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The XRD results showed that the thin film contained almost 100% anatase phase and the crystal size of TiO2was in the range of 4-8 nm. The FTIR spectra indicated the formation of Ti-O-Si and Si-O-Si linkages due to interaction of TiO2and MCM-41. The surface area of TiO2was increased significantly when MCM-41 was added. The use DEA and MCM-41 caused slight increase in visible light absorption but UV absorption was decreased. The photocatalytic reactivity of the thin film was tested by photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light. The addition of DEA as a nitrogen source was beneficial not only for obtaining stable/smooth surface of the thin film but also for enhancing photocatalysis of methylene blue by preventing charge carrier recombination. While MCM-41 played important functions in improving porosity and hydrophilicity of the film. The photodegradation of methylene blue was obtained up to 35% of its original concentration when 1M DEA and 0.3M MCM-41 were incorporated in TiO2thin film. The overall enhancement of photocatalytic activity of the film was a result of nitrogen doping, increased surface area as well as increased hydrophilicity provided by MCM-41.
