Photoelectrochemical Properties of Titanium Dioxide Films with Inclusions of Carbon Nanostructures

Abstract

It has been found that the presence of carbon structures in a porous oxide layer on titanium is accompanied by an increase in the photosensitivity of modified electrodes in a wavelength range of 260-400 nm. An increase in the catalytic activity of materials in oxygen electroreduction processes is also observed. Keywords: Carbon nanostructures, electrocatalysis, nanocomposites surfaces, photosensitivity, synergistic effect, titanium dioxide.
