Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02057508A2] The invention provides sputtering targets that are adapted for the deposition of photocatalytic coatings. The invention also provides methods for producing sputtering targets of this nature. The methods comprise forming sputtering targets from photocatalyst particles that are free of inert particle treatment. The photocatalyst particles are plasma sprayed onto the target base. For example, a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises plasma spraying uncoated titanium dioxide particles onto a target base. The titanium dioxide particles are optionally plasma sprayed under conditions that result in the target base being coated with substoichiometric titanium oxide, TiOx, where x is less than 2. The invention also provides substrates coated by the disclosed sputtering methods.
