TiO2 - Graphene Oxide Thin Films Obtained by Spray Pyrolysis Deposition

Graphene and graphene derivatives have a set of remarkable properties due to their 2D structure; to use these properties in various applications asks for increasing the thermal stability of the carbon-based components and this is why various composites are reported. The development of composites with metal oxide matrix and performant interfaces asks for using polar graphene derivatives as fillers, e,g, graphene oxide (GO). The development of thin multilayered composite films of TiO2 - GO - TiO2 using Spray Pyrolysis Deposition is discussed and the structural and surface properties are reported, considering further potential application of these composite layers as photocatalysts in advanced wastewater treatment or in self-cleaning surfaces.
