Abstract:

TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were produced via utilized nanosecond laser ablation of titanium in water. The description of these NPs was employed utilizing XRD, SEM, and UV-VIS. Then, optoelectronic properties were investigated via a drop-casting of TiO2 NPs on the Si wafer substrate. XRD results show the formation of anatase TiO2. The SEM exhibits a spherical shape with sizing changing from 5 nm to 50 nm. The bandgap was 3.6 eV which was determined from the Tauc chart. The IV characteristic of the TiO2NPs/Si heterojunction showed good rectifying behaviour, with a maximum responsivity of about 0.7 A/W at 310 nm.
