The TiO 2 nanoparticle thin films have been sensitized in situ with CdS nanoparticles. The SPS measurement showed that large surface state density was present on the TiO 2 nanoparticles and the surface state can be efficiently decreased by sensitization as well as selecting suitable heat treatment. Both the photocurrent response and the charge recombination kinetics in TiO 2 thin films were strongly influenced by trapping/detrapping of surface states. The slow photocurrent response of TiO 2 nanoparticulate thin films upon the illumination was attributed to the trap saturation effects. The semiconductor sensitization made the slow photoresponse disappeared and the steadystate photocurrent value increased drastically, which suggested that the sensitization of TiO 2 thin films with CdS could get a better charge separation and provide a simple alternative to minimize the effect of surface state on the photocurrent response.
