Özet:
Recently, the photocatalysis method has been an active research area as a promising solution for environmental cleaning method, leading to self-cleaning and sterilization of solar cell surfaces to produce water dissociation reaction. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most suitable semiconductor for photocatalytic applications due to its high oxidation potential and high efficiency when irradiated by ultraviolet light (UV). Undoped and Ruthenium (Ru+) doped TiO2 thin films were prepared using magnetron sputtering technique. All thin films were grown on SLG different ratios like 1 sec, 3 secs, 5 secs and 7 secs to set shutter position in magnetron sputter target. Transparent substrate SLG is coated with nearly 50 nm TiO2 thin films without compromising any optical properties. Samples were heat treated for two hours at 500°C to get the anatase phase crystal structure. The crystallization peaks of TiO2 are proved to get the anatase phase. Photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin films are determined after 1, 3, 5 and 24 hours with organic pollution as a methylene blue dye degradation under UV light. The degradation of methylene blue was investigated kinetically and photocatalytic activity rate constants of the photocatalysts were calculated. All thin films could not reach super hydrophilicity state. Undoped TiO2 contact angle 47.309o and Ru doped TiO2 63.218o were evaluated. The photocatalytic degradation percentage of Methylene Blue was reached 87%, after 24 hours of UV irradiation, when using Ru-doped TiO2 thin film. Consequently, the anatase phase of Ru-doped TiO2 thin films are found best photocatalytic activity in self-cleaning performance.
