Abstract

Spray-deposited hematite Fe₂O₃ and spin-coated anatase TiO₂ thin films were annealed under H₂S in order to investigate the effect of sulfurization by H₂S. Sulfurized films were characterized using UV–vis spectrophotometry, X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Sulfurized Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ films are composed of multiple phases. The Fe₂O₃ film undergoes phase transformation from hematite into a mixture of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) and pyrrhotite (FeS) at annealing temperatures above 250 °C. At 450 °C α-Fe₂O₃ is fully transformed into pyrite (FeS₂). The TiO₂ film transforms into a mixture of TiO₂ and TiS₂. TiS₂ formation begins at temperatures above 550 °C. At 700 °C, TiO₂ is completely transformed into TiS₂.
