Abstract: | TiO2 films with nanoparticles dispersed by using three different additives such as acetylacetone, Emulsifier OP-10, and polyethylene glycol, respectively. It is found that for the TiO2 films produced with appropriate amount of Emulsifier OP-10, there are no reaggregation of TiO2 nanoparticles with pores of about 5–20 nm. By adding polyethylene glycol, the pore size of the TiO2 films could be in the range from about 50 to 200 nm. However, by using acetylacetone, aggregations of TiO2 nanoparticles always exist in the TiO2 films. The related mechanism on the aggregation of nanoparticles in the TiO2 slurries is discussed. |
