Abstract: TiO2 nanowires array film was prepared within the pores of anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) template bYUsing sol-gel chemistry. This method was suitable for solving the problems caused by the generallYUsed sol-gel method, i.e. the agglomeration between particulates of the catalyst film in the burning process and the catalyst from the supports in the reaction. Anatase crystal form of TiO2 nanowires film was shown through XRD characterization and the diameter was determined by the pore size of the AAO template bYUsing AFM image, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanowires array film measured bYUsing an acridine dye solution as a modeLIs higher, compared with that of TiO2/glass film.

Key words: TiO2 nanowires array film, Anodic aluminum oxide(AAO), Acridine orange, Photocatalysis
