摘要
CuxO - TiO2 (x-1. 2) nanocomposites were synthesized by an innovative Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) strategy, based on the initial growth of CuxO matrices (1) and on the subsequent dispersion of TiO, nanoparticles (2). Cu(hfa),"TMEDA (hfa-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro2,4-pentanedionate; TMEDA N,N,N',N'-tetrainethylethylenediamine) and Ti(O-iPr)(2)(dpin), (0-iPr isopropoxide; dpm-2,2,6,6-tetramethy1-3,5-heptanedionate) were used as copper and titanium molecular sources, respectively. The syntheses were carried out under 0, 11-120 atmospheres on Si(100) substrates. In step (1), pure and homogeneous single-phase Cu2O/CuO nanosystems were obtained at 400/550 degrees C, with total pressures of 3.0/10.0 mbar, respectively. Interestingly, the obtained nanocomposites were characterized by the surface formation of Cu(I)-Cu(II) mixtures, due to the occurrence of interactions between CuxO and TiO,. This work is dedicated to the characterization of two representative samples by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), focusing in particular on the analysis on the 0 Is, Cu 2p and Ti 2p core levels.
