초록

Au fine particle dispersed TiO2 film was prepared on silica glass substrate by sol-gel dip and firing process. The films were fabricated from the system of titanium tetraisoproxie-EtOh-HCl_H2O-hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) tetrahydrate. The conditions for the formation of the clear solution and dissolving high concentration of Au compound were examined. And a photoreduction process was adopted to control the size of gold metal particles. Phase evolution of matrix TiO2 and variation of Au particle with UV irradiation were investigated by XRDA, SEM, TEM and UV-visible spectrophotometer. And the effect of CPCl(Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate) as a dispersion agent was evaluated.
