Nano-TiO2 thin films were prepared by agar coating method,and the photocatalytic properties of the prepared TiO2 thin films were studied.The thin films were characterized by XRD,BET,FESEM,FTIR,EDX and UV-Vis DRS.The results show that the crystal size of TiO2 prepared by agar coating can be reduced to 20 nm,while the crystal size of TiO2 prepared by common sol-gel method is about 30 nm.The surface images show that the nano-TiO2 thin films prepared by agar coating are uniformly distributed and have uniform morphology without crack.The results of UV-Vis DRS show that the bandgap of TiO2 is reduced by adding agar,and the removal efficiency of methylene blue by the prepared TiO2 is 71% in 120 min.The activity of TiO2 remains at high level after 5 cycles of methylene blue treatment.The formation mechanisms of coating of nano-TiO2 are also discussed based on the reaction characteristics.
