It is known that the TiO2 has some photocatalytic functions, even though they are relatively weak and their further enhancements are necessary for wider practical usages. On the other hand, improving materials surface functions by introducing microtextures is of great interest in various fields. Under such circumstances, the present study is aiming at developing a high-functional photocatalytic surface by earning the real surface area and reducing the light reflection and so on with the support of microtexturing technique. In this work, a pure Ti plate surface, which was covered with numerous micro impressions and micro pile-ups formed by the vibration-assisted microscratching, was anodized in order to obtain a regularly microtextured TiO2 film on the uppermost surface of Ti plate, and its wettabilty was evaluated in order to investigate its potential as the photocatalyst. As a result, it was found that the wettability of the TiO2 film surface regularly microtextured by the vibration-assisted microscratching was superior to those of the mirror finished one under the irradiation environment by the ultraviolet rays.

ABSTRACTUnsupported different atomic ratios of platinum-ruthenium bulk alloys were prepared. The alloys were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These alloys were also tested as anodes for methanol electro-oxidation in sulfuric acid over a range of temperatures. Ruthenium is inactive for methanol electro-oxidation at 25 °C, but becomes active at higher temperatures. When a comparison is made on the basis of “true” (hydrogen adsorption) surface area, a 30 atomic percent Ru electrocatalyst provides the highest activity for methanol electro-oxidation as measured at either 0.4 or 0.5V vs. RHE at both 25 and 60 °C.

The influence of different parameters (forced hydrolysis duration in the preparation of sols, alcohol addition in the sol mixture for application, as well as sol/alcohol mixture ageing time) on the morphology and electrochemical properties of RuO2-TiO2 coatings obtained by the sol-gel procedure is presented. The oxide sols were sharacterized by spectroscopic and microscopic methods (X-ray diffraction, TEM, etc). The morphology of the obtained coatings was examined by scanning tunneling microscopy, while the electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry polarization measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the accelerated stability test. The greatest real surface area was obtained for coatings with the smallest RuO2 particles and largest TiO2 particles. Alcohol addition caused enlargement of the oxide grains and, consequently, a decrease in the real surface area. The same effects of oxide grain size were registered on electrochemically active surface area. The electrocatalytic activity of the obtained anodes for the chlorine evolution reaction increased with growth of the TiO2 particles, but depended on the RuO2 particle size to a small degree. The corrosion stability of the anode coatings consisting of the smallest RuO2 particles and largest TiO2 particles whis the greatest in the electrolysis of a sodium-chloride solution.
