Effect of Annealing Temperature of Hybrid CeO₂/TiO₂ Nanotubes on the Photocurrent

Abstract:

Cerium oxide (CeO₂) or known as ceria were deposited on titanium dioxide, TiO₂, nanotubes by electrodeposition process as to produce hybrid materials that can generate photocurrent. The electrodeposition process is done by using 0.1 M cerium chloride mixed with 0.1 M ammonium acetate as ligands to promote stability complexes in a standard two electrode bath. Voltage and pH were controlled to ensure the most optimum condition of cerium oxide deposition. Samples were then annealed at different temperatures. Photocurrent results indicate that annealed sample at 450°C shows the best photocurrent due to high degree of anatase and cubic crystallinity.
