Anodization of large area Ti: a versatile material for caffeine photodegradation and hydrogen production
Original language description
Facile, single-step, and scalable fabrication of large-area (i.e., similar to 20 cm(2)) TiO2 nanostructures (TNS) with excellent photocatalytic activity under UVA light was carried out via electrochemical anodization. Anodization in a glycerol-based electrolyte containing fluoride ions was conducted at applied potentials of 20-80 V (20 V per step) for 100 min. Anodization at 20 V (TNS-20) and 40 V (TNS-40) led to formation of nanotubular TiO2, whereas, at 60 V (TNS-60) and 80 V (TNS-80) porous TiO2 was obtained. The highest caffeine photodegradation rate was obtained using TNS-20 (rate constant; k = 0.0069 min(-1)) and TNS-60 (rate constant; k = 0.0067 min(-1)). Moreover, hydrogen production by decomposition of methanol on large-area anodized Ti is reported here for the first time. The highest hydrogen production rate was observed using TNS-20 (production rate of similar to 6200 ppm, i.e., 25.83 ppm min(-1)), followed by TNS-60 (production rate of similar to 5900 ppm, i.e., 24.58 ppm min(-1)). The efficiency of these two materials is due to the interplay of the structure, morphology, and HO radical generation that favor TNS-20 and TNS-60 for both photocatalysis and hydrogen production. This work shows a potential strategy to synthesize large-area anodic TNS efficient for photocatalysis and hydrogen production. Synthesis of large-area materials is crucial for most real (photo)electrochemical applications where TNS of several cm(2) in macroscopic surface area are necessary.
