  ABSTRACT: A thin film TiO2 in hierarchical nano-structure with high photocatalytic activities was synthesized in simple steps with ultrasonication. The crystal structure and morphology of the photocatalyst were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). In the present work, nanostructured TiO2 was directly formed onto a Ti substrate via a solution approach. This nanostructured TiO2 photocatalyst can be reused and will not generate secondary contamination to treated water. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized TiO2 photocatalyst was evaluated by the degradation of phenol under UVC irradiation in water and was compared with the general sol-gel derived TiO2 films as well as a commercial DP-25 TiO2 coating. It was found that the synthesized nanostructured TiO2has significantly high and stable photocatalytic activity.
