Titanium dioxide has many technological applications, as pigment in paints, and functional coatings. It is resistant to electrochemical and photochemical degradation. The increase of the industrial production of dyes results in a significant increase in production of wastes, which requires the development of new degradation techniques to reduce the release of effluents. Among these techniques there is the advanced oxidation process (AOP), which is based on the formation of hydroxyl radicals to the degradation of the compounds in the effluent released. The heterogeneous photocatalysis uses a semiconductor material activated by UV radiation to yield hydroxyl radicals. Although there are studies regarding the use of TiO2 as photocatalyst, there are few data related to its application in the form of supported film. The aim of this study was to grow TiO2 films on borosilicate substrate at 400 and 500°C for up to 60 minutes by using metallorganic chemical vapor deposition technique and proceed to the microstructural, morphology and photocatalytic characterization of the films. Anatase phase was identified in all films. The films grown at 400°C presented a densified structure, while the films grown at 500°C showed well defined columnar structure. The photodegradation was assessed by degradation of methyl orange dye in pH 2.00; 7.00 and 10.00. The results of dye degradation showed that the highest efficiency occurred at pH 2. In this condition, the best results occurred for the film grown for 30 minutes at 400°C and presented a degradation of 65.3%.
