Substrate with a photocatalytic coating
First Claim
1. A coated substrate which is a glass, ceramic or vitro-ceramic substrate provided on at least a portion of one of its faces with a coating having photocatalytic properties, and comprising titanium oxide at least partly crystallized in the anatase form, and obtained by thermal decomposition of titanium precursors selected from the group consisting of organo-metallic precursors and metallic halide precursors, wherein said coating has a thickness between 5 and 50 nm, wherein the crystallized titanium oxide is in the form of crystallites with an average size of between 0.5 and 60 nm.
