Abstract

Abstract: Composite electrodes consisting of highly ordered, vertically oriented TiO₂ nanotube (TiO₂-NT) arrays modified with Fe₂O₃, CuO, and NiO nanoparticles were successfully fabricated by a simple electrochemical anodization and electrodeposition method. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and optical properties of the resulting Fe₂O₃/TiO₂-NT, CuO/TiO₂-NT, and NiO/TiO₂-NT composite electrodes. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) activities of the composite electrodes were evaluated using phenol as a model pollutant. Results indicated that transition metal oxide nanoparticles were deposited on the mouth, tube wall, and base of the TiO₂-NTs. The PEC activity of the composite electrodes was over twice that of an unmodified TiO₂-NT electrode. The Fe₂O₃/TiO₂-NT electrode showed the highest absorption intensity in the visible light region. After treatment for 120 min, the phenol removal efficiency using the Fe₂O₃/TiO₂-NT anode could reach 96%, while it was only 41% for the unmodified TiO₂-NT anode. Moreover, the Fe₂O₃/TiO₂-NT electrode tended to generate intermediates of low toxicity. The higher PEC activity of the composite electrodes was attributed to the presence of hetero-nanostructures with high interfacial area comprised of TiO₂-NTs and transition metal oxide nanoparticles, which efficiently facilitated electron transfer and inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron- hole pairs.
