Abstract
This work is completed with a summary and a brief outlook for the further improvement of the photocatalytic performance when this chromium element is incorporated into TiO2 oxide growing on quartz and porous multicrystalline silicon substrates. These photosensitivity tests emerged as a new way to show the important role of the structural modification and microstructure of such Cr doped TiO2 sputtered thin films.
