Abstract

Abstract:

A novel visible-light-responsive photoanode (Ta/Al-Fe₂O₃) was fabricated by co-doping Ta and Al into iron oxide. The properties of the prepared electrodes were examined using X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. XPS analysis suggested that the surface chemical environments of Al and O were significantly affected by Ta doping. Photoelectrochemical (PEC), electrocatalytic (EC), and photocatalytic (PC) degradations of methylene blue (MB) were performed using Ta/Al-Fe₂O₃ and Al-Fe₂O₃ electrodes as the photoanodes. The results indicated that synergetic effects in PEC enhanced the MB degradation efficiency compared with the individual PC or EC processes. The estimated rate constant for MB degradation on Ta/Al-Fe₂O₃ was about twice that on Al-Fe₂O₃ under visible-light irradiation in the PEC process. The greatly improved visible-light activity and film stability indicated that Ta doping was an efficient way to improve the PEC activity of Ta/Al-Fe₂O₃ films.

Key words: Ta/Al-Fe₂O₃, Photoelectrocatalysis, Visible light, Methylene blue, Degradation
