A batch of TiO2 films with different Zn2+ compositions are prepared on a single crystal silicon substrate by using sol-gel method to observe the changes in optical and photocatalytic properties in the alloying process of Zn2+ and TiO2. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) is used to observe the changes in the crystal structures of the films in the alloying process and to track the formation of ZnTiO3 compounds. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) are used to observe the phenomena of a large number of holes on the surfaces of the films due to the limited solubility of the crystal lattice for Zn2+ in the alloying process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and optical bandgap are used to observe the changes at a level of the electronic structure of the films in the alloying process of Zn2+ with TiO2. Finally, by degrading the methylene blue solution, it is shown that a small amount of Zn2+ doping is completely dissolved in TiO2, destroying the TiO2 crystalline quality. As the compositional share of Zn2+ continues to increase to 15%, the limited solubility of TiO2 for Zn2+ is verified in the XPS peak fitting, resulting in a large number of hole structures in the film, and the active specific surface area of the film is enhanced, while Zn2+ effectively traps the photogenerated e–/h+. In order to continue to observe the effect of Zn2+ concentration on TiO2, we increase the concentration of Zn2+ to 40% and observe the phenomenon in the alloying process of Zn2+ with TiO2. It is shown that the appearance of the compound ZnTiO3 can act as a complex center for e–/h+ and a significant decrease in the percentage of TiO2 leads to a gradual decrease in the photocatalytic efficiency of the films after alloying.
