Dual-function photoelectrode of TiO2 nanotube array/CdZnS/ZnS heterojunction for efficient photoelectrochemical cathodic protection and anti-biofouling

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.10.064

Abstract

Abstract: The low photoelectric conversion efficiency of photoelectrode is an important factor that limits the application in photoelectrochemical cathodic protection (PECCP) field for marine anti-corrosion of metallic structures. In this work, a photoelectrode of TiO₂/CdZnS/ZnS triple-phase heterojunction was fabricated by loading the narrow-band CdZnS associated with the broad-band ZnS via hydrothermal and continuous ion layer adsorption methods, respectively. The composite of CdZnS enhances the photoelectric conversion ability of TiO₂, while the ZnS composite can prevent the CdZnS from photo-corrosion and suppress the spillover of the photogenerated electrons. The three-phase heterostructure effectively improves the PECCP performance on 316 L stainless steel (SS) under simulated solar irradiation, especially in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution without the sacrificial agent. In addition, the prepared TiO₂/CdZnS/ZnS photoelectrode also performs anti-biofouling effect evidenced by the high removal efficiency of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), which can be attributed to the oxidizability of photogenerated holes. The TiO₂/CdZnS/ZnS triple-phase heterojunction with desirable performance is a promising semiconductor material for the applications of PECCP and anti-biofouling.

Key words: Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection, Anti-corrosion, TiO₂/CdZnS/ZnS, Anti-biofouling, P. aeruginosa
