Abstract

Ti/TiO2–ZrTiO4–ZrO2, Ti/TiO2–CeO2, and Ti/TiO2–ZrTiO4 composites have been fabricated by the one-stage plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in aqueous electrolytes containing 0.05 mol/L Zr(SO4)2, 0.05 mol/L Ce(SO4)2, or their mixtures, respectively. The surface morphology and composite composition have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and energy dispersive analysis. The photoelectrochemical properties of the composites have been studied under UV light in the potential range of 0.0–1.2 V. The Ti/TiO2–ZrTiO4–ZrO2 composites exhibit high photoelectrochemical activity: they generate photocurrents of 73 μA without potential and 230 μA in the potential range from 0.2 to 1.2 V. Such composites are promising as active photoanodes for water splitting. The introduction of cerium into the PEO coatings leads to a sharp decrease in photocurrents (0.1–10 μA).
