However, the fabrication of flexible DSC is a challenge as it is tough to sinter TiO2 film at low temperature. Therefore, in this study, a binder-free TiO2 paste is presented, which has been sintered on a flexible conductive substrate using UV exposure. The UV exposure time is optimized based on the XRD, FTIR, FESEM and UVâ��Vis spectrophotometer. The XRD has shown that TiO2 is perfectly crystalline and UV exposure transforms anatase and brookite completely into the rutile phase. This transformation is investigated by sintering the same type of samples in an oven. It is found that oven sintering does not support anatase transformation into rutile. Moreover, FTIR, FESEM and UVâ��Vis transmittance has revealed that a 5 h of UV exposure is the optimum time to degrade the organic matter of the paste and properly sinter the film on a flexible substrate. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. date: 2021 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85123284146&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-16-4513-6_35&partnerID=40&md5=0a70b91fd1fcbbad664241ed1cbcb25d id_number: 10.1007/978-981-16-4513-6₃₅ full_text_status: none publication: Springer Proceedings in Complexity pagerange: 403-411 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789811645129 issn: 22138684 citation: Mohamed, N.M. and Shahid, M.U. and Ramly, K. and Singh, B.S.M. and Kait, C.F. and Zaine, S.N.A. and Ullah, F.
