摘要： A bifunctional SiO 2 –TiO 2 material for antireflection and photocatalytic degradation was prepared by peroxo sol–gel method. The as-prepared sols have the following unique properties: (1) they can contain crystalline anatase nanoparticles without subsequent calcinations process and (2) they are very stable even without the presence of any protecting surfactant (i.e., no aggregation even after 1 year). The particle size of TiO 2 decreased as the SiO 2 content increased. The aspect ratio of TiO 2 particle also increased with increasing SiO 2 content. The SiO 2 –TiO 2 sol was neutral or slightly basic. SiO 2 –TiO 2 sol prepared by the presenting peroxo sol–gel method possesses several advantages, i.e., small TiO 2 particles in nanometer scale, high aspect ratio of TiO 2 , the lack of need for any surfactant, non-acidity and the lack of need for any annealing processes. The as-prepared sol can be used as a coating precursor on any substrate, and SiO 2 –TiO 2 films were successfully coated on glass substrates by dip-coating method. The as-deposited films were subjected to drying at 80 °C in air. The transmittance of the SiO 2 –TiO 2 -coated glass increased by 4 %, as compared to the bare glass. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in water was carried out under UVA (365 nm) and UVC (254 nm) irradiation with the presence of the SiO 2 –TiO 2 films as catalysts. The results showed that the presence of SiO 2 in TiO 2 films would improve the photocatalytic activity, as compared to bare TiO 2 film. In addition, the fabricated SiO 2 –TiO 2 films showed high anti-reflection and high photocatalytic activity than bare TiO 2 films.
