MoO3 in Self-Organized TiO2 Nanotubes for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

MoO3 in Self-Organized TiO2 Nanotubes for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity

Self‐organized nanostructures (nanotubes and nanopores) consisting of TiO2‐MoO3 were grown on Ti‐Mo substrates with different Mo contents (7 wt % Mo, 20 wt % Mo, and 35 wt % Mo) by electrochemical anodization. The photocatalytic activity of these oxide layers was compared with TiO2 nanotubes. The re...

Zusammenfassung:Self‐organized nanostructures (nanotubes and nanopores) consisting of TiO2‐MoO3 were grown on Ti‐Mo substrates with different Mo contents (7 wt % Mo, 20 wt % Mo, and 35 wt % Mo) by electrochemical anodization. The photocatalytic activity of these oxide layers was compared with TiO2 nanotubes. The results show clearly that MoO3 doping of about 7 wt % (Ti 7Mo in picture) strongly enhances the achievable photodegradation ability of titania nanotubes.
