Enhancement of optoelectronic properties of TiO2 films containing Pt nanoparticles

Anatase TiO2 and TiO2 films containing Pt nanoparticles were prepared by sol–gel dip coating method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Further, optoelectronic properties were investigated, showing...
