Multifunctional capabilities of radio frequency sputtered GO-TiO2 nanocomposite ultra-thin films

The work presents the successful synthesis of ultra -thin Graphene Oxide -Titanium (GOT) nanocomposite films using radio frequency sputtering. It was employed a thorough characterization encompassing structural, optical, and morphological aspects, with a focus on practical applications such as photocatalysis, anti -corrosion, antireflective properties, and superhydrophobicity (PAAS). Notably, the GOT film exhibited outstanding photocatalytic efficiency, achieving a significant 96% photodegradation rate, and offering promise for environmental remediation. Additionally, it demonstrated excellent visible -light -induced photocatalytic disinfection against E. coli K12 contamination. Furthermore, the film displayed notable corrosion resistance, a fivefold improvement over pristine surfaces, and excellent anti -reflective properties with 98% transmittance in the visible light range, making it suitable for advanced optical devices with multifunctional benefits.
