Characterization study of silver titanium dioxide (AgTiO2) thin film deposited on various substrates via sol-gel technique

Anatase Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) sol was synthesized in room temperature 27°C and ambient pressure by hydrolysis of Titanium Tetraisopropoxide (TTiP) in acidic aqueous solution (Hydrochloric acid, HCl), ethanol and deionized water. Degussa P25 powder was used as a precursor to enhance the anatase pre...
