Structure and Photocatalytic Properties of TiO2-WO3Composites Prepared by Electrophoretic Deposition

Year: 2015

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this work TiO 2 -WO 3 composite films containing different oxide concentrations were prepared by electrophoretic deposition on steel substrates. Composite coating structures were analyzed by X -ray diffraction, Raman spectra and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed an even distribution of WO 3 particles in the entire composite layer. Light absorption measurements were used for photocatalytic properties evaluation. It was found that the removal ratio of methylene blue depends on the (TiO 2 ):(WO 3 ) concentration ratio. The most effective photodegradation was determined for the sample that was electrophoretically deposited from the suspension with the molar content ratio n(TiO 2 ):n(WO 3 ) 2:1.
