The sol-gel technique is commonly used for the nanoscaled metal oxides thin layers preparation. Metal-doped TiO2 thin layers were prepared by the sol-gel technique controlled in the reverse micellar environment. In this case the chemical process of hydrolysis and polycondensation takes place in the core of reverse micelles. This provides the uniform particle size in layers. Prepared TiO2 layers were deposited on a substrate by the dip-coating method and then the organic matter was removed by calcination. The surface properties of the calcined layers were determined by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, UV–Vis analyses and by XPS. The photo-induced properties of nanoparticulate TiO2 layers were studied by electrochemical measurements combined with UV irradiation.
