Abstract

A new plasma electrolytic deposition process working at atmospheric pressure has been developed for the growth of titanium dioxide coatings composed of nano-rods and nano-particles. By controlling the plasma discharge intensity, the treatment time and the initial titanium concentration in the liquid solution, we have been able to produce a large range of structures and morphologies that must be promising in various technological applications, from nano-electronics to solar cell technologies.
