    Abstract

    The photo-electrochemical properties of photocatalytic titanium dioxide thin filmsobtained by reactive RF magnetron sputtering were investigated. The pressure during the sputteringdeposition affected the photocatalytic activity and photo-induced hydrophilicity, and at 2 Pa thehighest activities were observed. The photocurrent under ultraviolet light illumination corresponded tothe photo-induced activities of the films. It is suggested that the band bending near the surface is oneof the most crucial factors determines the activities of photo-induced behavior of the titanium dioxidethin films.
