Abstract

Anatase TiO2 films (thickness = 50 nm) were formed in shape of stripes (width = 1.6 mm, interval = 0.4 mm) by gravure printing on commercially available SnO2 coated soda-lime glass substrates (dimension = 300 × 300 mm). Its photocatalytic activity was examined for the gas-phase oxidation of CH3CHO in comparison with a simple TiO2 photocatalyst formed on a silica glass. The patterned TiO2/SnO2 bilayer type photocatalyst showed a high photocatalytic activity in an H2O bearing atmosphere. On the other hand, neither the patterning nor stacking effect was observed for the same reaction under dry conditions. These results could be explained in terms of the reducing potential of the electrons in the conduction band of the SnO2 layer.
