摘要:

We present here for the first time the results from electrochemically assisted photocatalytic experiments using coupled TiO{sub 2}/SnO{sub 2} semiconductor thin films in the degradation of textile dye effluent. We show that by using such a system the oxidative efficiency of photocatalytic semiconductor systems in degrading a commercial azo dye such as Acid Orange 7 (AO7) can be improved. The results presented here on the decolorization of the azo dye AO7 represents a major step forward in the development of new advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of such industrial waste. The improved charge separation as a result of coupling two semiconductor systems with different energy levels and the applied anodic bias is responsible for the enhancement in the rate of photocatalytic degradation. 20 refs., 6 figs.
