| Title: | Photoelectrocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution using a Pt-TiO?film | Authors: | He, C Abou Asi, M Xiong, Y Shu, D Li, XZ |
Issue Date: | 2009 | Source: | International journal of photoenergy, 2009, v. 2009, 634369, p. [1-7] | Abstract: | A series of Pt-TiO? films with nanocrystaline structure was prepared by a procedure of photodeposition and subsequent dip-coating. The Pt-TiO? films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscope, electrochemical characterization to examine the surface structure, chemical composition, and the photoelectrochemical properties. The photocatalytic activity of the Pt-TiO? films was evaluated in the photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation of formic acid in aqueous solution. Compared with a TiO? film, the efficiency of formic acid degradation using the Pt-TiO? films was significantly higher in both the PC and PEC processes. The enhancement is attributed to the action of Pt deposits on the TiO? surface, which play a key role by attracting conduction band photoelectrons. In the PEC process, the anodic bias externally applied on the illuminated Pt-TiO? films can further drive away the accumulated photoelectrons from the metal deposits and promote a process of interfacial charge transfer. | Publisher: | Hindawi Publishing | Journal: | International journal of photoenergy | ISSN: | 1110-662X | DOI: | 10.1155/2009/634369 | Rights: | ? 2009 Chun He et al.
