Coatings were formed in an alkaline electrolyte with varying concentrations of MnO, NiO, or Co3O4 powders. The morphology, thickness and phase structure of all formed coatings are nearly identical and independent of the content of transition metal ions embedded in TiO2. The X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicated that anatase TiO2 coatings were loaded with MnO, NiO, or Co3O4 from electrolytes. When up to 2.0 g/L of MnO, NiO, or Co3O4 is added to the electrolyte, the photocatalytic activity (PA) of the forming coatings is higher than for pure TiO2. The coatings formed in electrolyte with the addition of 0.75 g/L MnO, 1.5 g/L NiO, or 2.0 g/L Co3O4 had the highest PA. Increased PA is associated with a decrease in photogenerated electron/hole recombination rate, according to UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements. |
