29. 2 films tend to peel or crack more easily than the TiO2 films, and the procedure reported here ensured films of excellent quality and reproducibility.
30. 2 in a custom-made Ti autoclave (Parr) led to improved colloids, as corrosion of steel autoclaves is often observed.
31. Slower degradation was observed when the solutions were prepared from anhydrous THF (Aldrich) which was freshly distilled from sodium-benzophenone.
