Abstract
We show that titanium dioxide particles capable of reactive oxygen species generation can be produced in titanium butoxide films by annealing them at 500°C. Optimal conditions for the films deposition by a modified Langmuir–Blodgett technique were selected basing on the film uniformity examined by optical and electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the annealed film was tested using RNO sensor bleaching.
