Abstract

TiO₂ nanotube arrays are decorated with CdS and Bi₂S₃ by an ultrasonic-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method aiming to enhance thephotoelectric conversion ability of TiO₂ and correspondingly the photogenerated cathodic protection performance for 304 stainless steel. The morphology, structural, element type and valence state of the TiO₂ nanocomposites are characterized by SEM, XRD and XPS, the photoelectrochemical performance of nanocomposites is studied systematically under irradiation of a simulated sunlight. The results indicate that the TiO₂nanocomposites decorated with proper amount of CdS and Bi₂S₃ by an optimal procedure exhibit the best performance, namely, the band gap is reduced to 2.4 eV, the light absorption range extends to the visible region, and the recombination rate of charge photogenerated carriers is greatly reduced. The electrochemical test results show that Bi₂S₃/CdS/TiO₂ nanocomposites have the lowest charge transfer resistance and the fastest electron transfer rate, and the photocurrent density is enhanced to 850 μA·cm^-2 under the condition of turning on light, which is 11.8% higher than that of CdS/TiO₂ nanocomposites and 3.4 times that of TiO₂ nanotube arrays. After coupling the nanocomposite with 304 stainless steel, the potential can be reduced to -0.99 V under simulated sunlight, which is about 70 mV lower than that with the undecorated TiO₂ nanocomposites, and it can further enhance the photogenerated cathodic protection effect on 304 stainless steel.

Key words: photogenerated cathodic protection modification Bi₂S₃/CdS/TiO₂ 304 stainless steel
