Abstract:

TiO2 is one kind of semiconductor-based photocatalyst. TiO2 shows relatively high reactivity and chemical stability under ultraviolet (UV) light. However TiO2 is poor absorber of photons in the solar spectrum. In order to improve the absorption efficiency, the coatings of TiO2/ZnFe2O4, ZnFe2O4and TiO2 on ITO were prepared by dip coating method, their microstructure, surface properties, photocurrent and photo absorption are investigated in this paper. XRD results show that the phases on the composite coatings are mainly TiO2 and ZnFe2O4 and the main phase on ZnFe2O4 and TiO2 coatings is ZnFe2O4 and TiO2 respectively, the SEM results show that the coatings of TiO2 and TiO2/ZnFe2O4 are distributed evenly on the materials surface and the AFM results show that the grain size is about 20nm. The experimental results also show that the absorption wavelength of composite coatings of TiO2/ZnFe2O4 is 454nm, which is larger than that of TiO2 coatings (370nm). Under the irradiation of Xe lamp light, a photocurrent of 27µA/cm2 on the materials surface could be obtained.
