Abstract
FexCo1−xWO4 films on the titanium were formed by one-step plasma electrolytic oxidation in tungstate electrolytes containing Fe(II)-EDTA and/or Co(II)-EDTA anions. The resulting composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflection, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). All formed coatings contain TiO2 in the anatase modification and orthorhombic WO3. The oxide layers obtained in a tungstate electrolyte with the addition of only Co(II)-EDTA ions also include CoWO4. Based on Mott–Schottky plots all samples show a positive slope, indicating the behavior of an n-type semiconductor. For the composites obtained, the values of the band gap determined by the Tauc method for direct allowed transitions are 2.5–2.9 eV. The resulting composites exhibit photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methyl orange (10 mg/L, pH 6.8, С(Н2О2) = 10 mmol/L) under UV and visible light irradiation. The highest MO degradation reaches 80% in the presence of Ti/W/Co composite under UV light. According to the Nyquist plots, the most active samples have the lowest resistance to charge transfer.
