English abstract:
The present work shows the feasibility of preparing transparent titania coatings being doped with platinum nanoparticles by sol-gel processing. The used platinum nanoparticles are modified by two different functional thiol ligands, mercaptoethanol and mercaptopropionic acid. The functional ligands are used to create a nanoparticle network and they can also promote anchorage of titanium alkoxides as sol-gel precursors, ensuring a regular distribution of the metal nanoparticles within the coating as well as a good stability to the film.
