Abstract
This study is concerned with the preparation of hydrolytically active heteroligand complex [Ti(OC4H9)3.61(O2C5H7)0.39] from titanium butoxide and acetylacetone and with the gel formation kinetics in a solution of this complex upon hydrolysis and polycondensation. Single-layer and double-layer thin films of a solution of this precursor were coated on polished silicon substrates using the dip-coating method. The crystallization of nanostructured titania films during the heat treatment of these xerogel coatings was studied using various protocols; the anatase–rutile phase transition temperature was found to depend on the film thickness. The effects of the precursor solution viscosity on the film thickness and crystallite size were determined.
