TiO2-nanoparticles of anatase-type were synthesized and deposited using the electrophoresis depo-sition method. All of TiO2-nanoparticles were positively charged in colloidal aqueous solution and were attracted toward ITO glass as the negative electrode as same as nanoparticles (P25) whose diameter is larger than that of TiO2-nanoparticles. Many of the TiO2-nanoparticles were connected with each other and formed clusters, although single TiO2-nanoparticles were also observed. The cracks generated in the thin film with increasing the deposition time and thin film was flaked off from substrate. High optical transparency TiO2-nanoparticles-thin film without cracks was deposited when the deposition time was short. Moreover, the thickness of TiO2-thin film, which has high optical transparency and no cracks, could be increased using mixture of TiO2-nanoparticles and P25.

Titanium dioxide (TiO_2) is the most popular photocatalytic material. However, its operation is limited to UV light only. In this paper, we tried to improve the visible light responsiveness of TiO_2 by doping Nickel (Ni) using sol-gel method. By combining Ni-doped TiO_2 powder with commercially available P25 TiO_2 powder to make photocatalytic thin films, significant improvement in photocatalytic activity has been obtained. Furthermore, we also studied the relationship between the surface condition of photocatalytic thin films and their photocatalytic activity. The surface condition was improved by multilayer electrophoresis deposition method. Based on experimental results, by combining 10 - 20 wt% Ni-doped TiO_2 with P25 TiO_2, we could significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of P25 TiO_2.

Self-assembled oxide-metallic alloyed nanopillars as hybrid plasmonic metamaterials (e.g., ZnO-AgxAu1-x) in a thin film form are grown using a pulsed laser deposition method. The hybrid films were demonstrated to be...
