Abstract

In this study, the photo-corrosion properties of undoped TiO2, Ag/TiO2, and graphene aerogel-doped Ag/TiO2 thin films prepared by the dip coating method were investigated in a 3.5% NaCl environment. In a 3.5% NaCl solution, Ag-doped TiO2 thin film showed better photo-corrosion behavior than the base and pure TiO2 thin film. It was determined that the graphene aerogel layer coated on the Ag-TiO2 thin film increased the photo corrosion resistance of the Ag-doped film and showed quite superior strength.
