Study on the performance of I-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays for planar photocatalytic fuel cells

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.201922019

Abstract

Abstract:

The photoanode of I-doped TiO₂ nanotube arrays (ITNA) prepared by anodization exhibited better degradation performance than TNA. The planar photocatalytic fuel cell (p-PFC) obtained by combining ITNA and Pt electrodes achieved a maximum decolorization rate of 93.1% when the concentration of methylene blue (MB) was 6 mg·L^–1and the electrode plate spacing was 1.0 cm. The degradation of MB occurred on the surface of ITNA, which was a rate-limiting step. Compared to other structures, p-PFC had a higher photocatalytic performance and better production of h⁺ and ·OH, while degrading MB and other organics.

Key words: planar photocatalytic fuel cell (p-PFC), TiO₂ nanotubes arrays (TNA), I-doped, methylene blue (MB)
