文摘A transparent phase-pure anatase TiO2 nanofilm was prepared through magnetron sputtering method,and a subsequent annealing treatment awarded it the superhydrophilic characteristic.To make clear the mechanism of the heat-induced superhydrophilicity,the chemical composition and surface morphology of the film were investigated in detail and compared before and after the annealing treatment mainly by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),X-ray diffraction method(XRD),Raman spectroscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope(XPS).The results suggest that the probable mechanism is in accordance with the UV-induced mechanism,where the heat-induced surface oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl radicals play important roles for achieving the superhydrophilicity.
