In this work gasochromic effect in TiO2 thin films doped with palladium and tantalum (without catalyst film) have been described. The results have shown that in nanocrystalline TiO2:(Ta, Pd), with anatase structure, the film colorization effect in alcohol presence was observed. Both colorization and also bleaching effect were stable and thermally activated.
