Nanostructure TiO /Ag composite thin films 2 2 were prepared by a sol-gel spin and dip coating technique. while, by introducing methyl cellulose (MC) porous, TiO2 /Ag films were obtained after calcining at a temperature of 500o C. The as-prepared TiO and TiO /Ag films were characterized by X- 2 2 ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy to reveal the structural and morphological differences. In addition, the photocatalytic properties of these films were investigated by degrading methyl orange (MO) under UV irradiation. After 500o C calcination, the microstructure of MC-TiO2 film without Ag addition exhibited a microstructure, while significant sin
