Abstract
Photocatalysis is a promising solution for purifying air and water from pollutants, yet more efficient photocatalytic materials are needed. A new approach is proposed in this paper for enhancing the photoactive and photoelectrical properties of anatase TiO2 films by applying an intermediate SiO2 film between the TiO2 film and the stainless steel substrate. TiO2 and SiO2 coatings are synthesized by a sol
