Fazlul, Bari, Assoc. Prof. Dr. cwlai@um.edu.my sharifahbee@um.edu.my Composite Mild steel Photoelectrocatalytic Composite coatings Link to publisher's homepage at http://epjap.epj.org The photoelectrocatalytic activity of Zn-loaded reduced graphene oxide-titania (RGO-TiO₂) composite coatings on mild steel substrate was investigated in detail. Zn-loaded RGO-TiO₂ composite films were prepared by using DC electrochemical co-deposition technique onto mild steel substrate in an acid-sulphate bath electrolyte. The cyclic voltammetry and photocurrent response studies showed that the Zn-loaded RGO-TiO₂ films have improved photoelectrocatalytic performance. The embedding of metallic Zn into the RGO-TiO₂ promoted an effective charge carriers separation by minimizing the recombination losses. In this manner, metallic Zn will act as efficient photo-induced electron acceptors from the bulk of RGO-TiO₂ film. Thus, the transportation of the electrons from the working electrode to the counter electrode was improved significantly. 2014-06-06T03:58:30Z 2014-06-06T03:58:30Z 2014-02 Article The European Physical Journal Applied Physics, vol.65 (2), 2014, 8 pages 1286-0050 (online) 1286-0042 (print) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35136 http://epjap.epj.org/articles/epjap/abs/2014/02/ap130419/ap130419.html http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epjap/2013130419 en EDP Sciences |
