The Ag-TiO{sub 2} coating was characterized by various experimental techniques. Ag particles (1-5 nm) were coated on the surface of an anatase TiO{sub 2} layer. The photoactivity of the Ag-TiO{sub 2} photocatalyst with a proper Ag/Ti atomic ratio (0.0198-0.0595) was greatly higher than that of pure TiO{sub 2}. The repeatability and strength test indicated that the Ag particles had a good adhesion on TiO{sub 2}.
