Abstract

Homogeneous and crack-free TiO2-based thin films with templated mesoporosity by using selected polymers F127 and PSM02 were prepared by a dip-coating technique using evaporation-induced self-assembly method. The synthesized mesoporous TiO2 films were characterized by using FE-SEM, BET and XRD techniques. Degradation or decolorization of crystal violet was used to test the photocatalytic activity of mesoporous TiO2 films. The degradation kinetic of crystal violet was investigated in details in a broad range of initial concentrations of chosen organic dye. The kinetic data were correlated with the specific surface area, structural properties and thickness of mesoporous TiO2 films, as well as number of reaction cycles.
