Visible photodecomposition of methylene blue over micro arc oxidized WO3–loaded TiO2 nano-porous layers

How deposition parameters affect corrosion behavior of TiO2-Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings

“…The surface pores of sample 450A1 are approximately 10 times larger than those of sample 450A3. The physical factor which induces these variations in pore size is the electric current passing the electrochemical cell [15,17,55]. As it was shown earlier, at a specific voltage, the average electric current decreases due to the increase in the content of alumina nanoparticles and at higher voltages, it decreases faster.…”

“…Ceramic coatings have been recently found promising for a variety of industrial applications in order to improve wear resistance [1][2][3], corrosion resistance [4][5][6][7][8], heat resistance [9], biocompatibility [10][11][12][13], and photocatalystic activity [14][15][16][17][18][19] of metals and alloys. These coatings are fabricated by different techniques such as oxidation of the metal surfaces [3,[20][21][22], sol-gel process [19], vapor phase deposition [23,24], electrophoresis [25], and thermal spray [26,27].…”

An innovative technique to simply fabricate ZrO2–HA–TiO2 nanostructured layers

“…MAO coatings on titanium alloys are effective as chemical barriers against the release of metal ions from the substrates and can enhance the corrosion resistant of titanium alloys [49]. MAO is an efficient process enabling us to fabricate ceramic coatings with different chemical compositions in only one step [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58].…”

Highly Efficient and Visible Light Responsive Heterojunction Composites as Dual Photoelectrodes for Photocatalytic Fuel Cell

“…7.2 g of Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O, 0.13 g of NH 4 F, and 0.3 g of HMT were dissolved in the order in a 50-mL acetone−deionized water (v/v = 50:50) mixture solution under continuous stirring using magnetic stirrer. Upon a formation of pink suspension, the stirring was continued for another 10 min.…”

“…Developing an effective purification technique to maintain a green ecological environment and simultaneously recover the chemical energy stored abundantly in toxic organics that usually let out as wastewater has become an urgent need of the hour [1][2][3]. A novel device, the so-called photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC), constituted with a photoanode and a photocathode, for wastewater treatment along with simultaneous electricity generation under solar irradiation, is an emerging and attractive technique in the energy and environmental domain [4][5][6]. In this system, the electron/hole pairs can be generated from the photoelectrodes under light irradiation in a defined wavelength region.…”
