Abstract

Transparent and colourless TiO2 thin films were fabricated on microscope glass slides by d.c. magnetron reactive sputtering method using Ar and O2 as working gases. Then Fe ions were implanted into the TiO2 thin film to observe its effects on the photocatalytic activity. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer technologies were used to characterize the films. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B dye. The effects of Fe ion implantation on the decrease in the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 thin film were discussed.
