【0002】
【従来の技術】
TiO2光触媒の結晶構造にはアナターゼ型、ルチル型、そしてブルッカイト型の三つの種類があり、その光触媒活性はアナターゼ型が最も高いことが知られている。しかしながら、従来、光触媒材料としてTiO2の薄膜を製造する場合には、アナターゼ相とルチル相とが混在した膜が製造されアナターゼ相のみの膜を製造することは困難であった。また、従来用いられているゾルゲル法により製造されるTiO2膜は、基板との密着性が悪いという欠点を有している。これらのことから、光触媒活性が高く、更に基板との密着性にすぐれたアナターゼ型二酸化チタン薄膜を製造する必要性が存在する。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記した従来技術における欠点を解消するためになされたものであって、その目的とするところは、レーザー蒸着成膜法を用いることにより、光触媒活性の高いアナターゼ相のみを有する二酸化チタン薄膜を製造することである。
【0004】
また、他の目的は、ゾルゲル法に代えてレーザー蒸着成膜法を用いることにより、基板との密着性にすぐれたアナターゼ型二酸化チタン薄膜を製造することである。
【0005】
更に、他の目的は、ガラス基板を用いることにより、経済的にも望ましいアナターゼ型二酸化チタン薄膜を製造することである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
要するに、本発明は、レーザー蒸着成膜法により、石英ガラス基板上にアナターゼ型二酸化チタン薄膜を製造する方法であって、炭化チタン焼結体をターゲットとして用い、基板温度が450〜550℃であり、更に、光触媒活性の高いアナターゼ相のみを有する二酸化チタン薄膜が製造されることを特徴とする製造方法である。
【0007】
更に、本発明においては、基板として石英ガラス基板を用いることができる。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に係るアナターゼ型二酸化チタン薄膜の製造方法は、レーザー蒸着成膜法によるものである。ここで「レーザー蒸着成膜法」とは、酸素を含む雰囲気下でチタンを含むターゲットにレーザーを照射することにより、TiO2薄膜を基板上に蒸着させる方法である。本発明の製造方法においては、特に、ターゲットと基板の温度が重要な項目である。
【0009】
本発明において用いることができるターゲットは、炭化チタン(TiC) 焼結体である。また、基板は石英ガラス基板を用いることができるが、当業者であればこれ以外の基板を適宜選択することができる。基板温度、並びに酸素の圧力は、用いる基板の種類に依存するが、当業者であれば適宜条件を設定することができる。
【0010】

【0011】
本明細書中において「二酸化チタン薄膜」とは、ミクロンオーダーの厚さの二酸化チタン膜を意味し、好ましくは、数ミクロンの厚さの二酸化チタン膜をいう。
【0012】
以下、実施例を示し、更に本発明について詳しく説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。
【0013】
【実施例】
(実施例1)
本実施例においては、ターゲットとしてTiC焼結体、基板として石英ガラス基板を用いた。30mTorrの酸素雰囲気下基板温度500℃で、レーザー蒸着成膜法(KrFレーザー、波長:248nm、エネルギー:150mJ、繰り返し周波数:10Hz)により、ターゲットから約7cm離れている基板上に二酸化チタン薄膜を2時間蒸着した。図1は、得られた二酸化チタン薄膜のX線回折(XRD)パターンを示す図である。図中、●符号のピークはアナターゼ型結晶構造に特徴的な回折ピークであり、▽符号のピークはXRD測定に使用した鉄製の試料ホルダーの回折ピークである。XRDの結果より、ルチル相が混在していない多結晶のアナターゼ相のみの薄膜が製造されたことが明らかとなった。また、得られた膜は平滑でありその厚さは約200ナノメートルであった。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an anatase type titanium dioxide (hereinafter, also referred to as TiO 2 ) photocatalyst and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an anatase-type TiO 2 thin-film photocatalytic material produced from a titanium carbide (TiC) sintered body by a laser vapor deposition method in an oxygen atmosphere, and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are three types of crystal structures of TiO 2 photocatalysts: anatase type, rutile type, and brookite type, and it is known that the anatase type has the highest photocatalytic activity. However, conventionally, when producing a TiO 2 thin film as a photocatalytic material, a film in which an anatase phase and a rutile phase are mixed has been produced, and it has been difficult to produce a film having only an anatase phase. Further, the TiO 2 film produced by the conventionally used sol-gel method has a drawback that adhesion to a substrate is poor. Accordingly, there is a need to produce an anatase-type titanium dioxide thin film having high photocatalytic activity and excellent adhesion to a substrate.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a titanium dioxide having only an anatase phase having a high photocatalytic activity by using a laser vapor deposition method. It is to produce a thin film.
[0004]
Another object is to produce an anatase type titanium dioxide thin film having excellent adhesion to a substrate by using a laser vapor deposition method instead of the sol-gel method.
[0005]
Still another object is to produce an economically desirable anatase-type titanium dioxide thin film by using a glass substrate.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In short, the present invention is a method for producing an anatase type titanium dioxide thin film on a quartz glass substrate by a laser vapor deposition method, wherein a titanium carbide sintered body is used as a target, and the substrate temperature is 450 to 550 ° C. And a method for producing a titanium dioxide thin film having only an anatase phase having high photocatalytic activity.
[0007]
Further, in the present invention, a quartz glass substrate can be used as the substrate.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The method for producing an anatase type titanium dioxide thin film according to the present invention is based on a laser vapor deposition method. Here, the “laser deposition film forming method” is a method in which a TiO 2 thin film is deposited on a substrate by irradiating a target containing titanium with a laser in an atmosphere containing oxygen. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the temperature of the target and the substrate are particularly important items.
[0009]
The target that can be used in the present invention is a titanium carbide (TiC) sintered body. Although a quartz glass substrate can be used as the substrate, those skilled in the art can appropriately select other substrates. The substrate temperature and the oxygen pressure depend on the type of the substrate to be used, but those skilled in the art can appropriately set conditions.
[0010]
In the manufacturing method according to the present invention, an anatase-type TiO 2 thin film is manufactured on a quartz glass substrate by irradiating a laser to the TiC sintered body in an oxygen gas atmosphere of 30 mTorr. At this time, the substrate temperature is 450 to 550 ° C. (preferably 500 ° C.), and the vapor deposition time is 1 to 3 hours (preferably 2 hours). The type of laser used for irradiation is not particularly limited as long as it can impart energy to the target and evaporate it. For example, a KrF laser (wavelength: 248 nm, energy: 150 mJ, repetition frequency: 10 Hz) is used. Can be used.
[0011]
As used herein, the term “titanium dioxide thin film” refers to a titanium dioxide film having a thickness on the order of microns, preferably a titanium dioxide film having a thickness of several microns.
[0012]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples.
[0013]
【Example】
(Example 1)
In this example, a TiC sintered body was used as a target, and a quartz glass substrate was used as a substrate. At a substrate temperature of 500 ° C. in an oxygen atmosphere of 30 mTorr, a titanium dioxide thin film is deposited on a substrate approximately 7 cm away from the target by a laser vapor deposition method (KrF laser, wavelength: 248 nm, energy: 150 mJ, repetition frequency: 10 Hz). Time deposited. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the obtained titanium dioxide thin film. In the figure, the peak with the symbol ● is a diffraction peak characteristic of the anatase crystal structure, and the peak with the symbol Δ is the diffraction peak of the iron sample holder used for the XRD measurement. The results of XRD revealed that a thin film of only a polycrystalline anatase phase without rutile phase was produced. The obtained film was smooth and had a thickness of about 200 nanometers.
[0014]
Next, the contact angle of water was measured to evaluate the presence or absence of hydrophilicity, which is one of the characteristics of the TiO 2 photocatalyst. The result is shown in FIG. The measurement of the contact angle was performed by dropping 2.6 μl of pure water droplet onto the sample. After about one hour of UV irradiation, the measured contact angle was about 10 degrees. These results revealed that the anatase-type titanium dioxide thin film produced by the production method of the present invention was excellent in hydrophilicity.
[0015]
(Comparative example)
The same operation as in Example 1 was performed except that the substrate temperature was set to 200 ° C. It became clear that the thin film sample obtained in this example was amorphous from the XRD pattern. Furthermore, it was found from the contact angle measurement of water that it did not have hydrophilicity.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention provides a titanium dioxide thin film having only an anatase phase having high photocatalytic activity by using a titanium carbide sintered body as a target and using a laser vapor deposition method with a substrate temperature of 450 to 550 ° C. There is an effect that it can be manufactured.
[0017]
Further, by using a laser deposition method instead of the sol-gel method, there is an effect that an anatase type titanium dioxide thin film having excellent adhesion to a substrate can be produced.
[0018]
Further, the use of a glass substrate has the effect that an anatase-type titanium dioxide thin film that is economically desirable can be produced.
