Popis: As a multi-functional material, TiO2 thin film has been widely studied and applied in display, photocatalysis, solar cells and other fields. In this work, TiO2 thin films were prepared using atomic layer deposition, and their morphology was successfully regulated by the growth temperature. It was found that TiO2 film prepared at low temperature was amorphous, uniform and dense, with great barrier property, which can be used for encapsulation. Crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles with anatase phase appeared at higher temperature than 150 °C, whose amount increased with the growth temperature. The crystalline TiO2 particles can be used as templates to prepare randomly textured nano-patterns, which were proved to be able to improve the light extraction efficiency of photoelectric devices. Specifically, the luminance efficiency of the QLED with the nano-patterns formed by the crystalline TiO2 particle prepared at 200 °C and 250 °C were increased by 24.07% and 30.44%, respectively.
