Electrodeposition of ceramic films from non-aqueous and mixed solutions

Photoelectrochemical behaviour of electrodeposited tungsten trioxide and electrosynthesised titanium dioxide single component and bilayer coatings on stainless steel substrates

“…), electrosynthesis/electrodeposition has been proposed as an alternative route for the production of TiO 2 and WO 3 coatings, offering accurate control of layer thickness and applicability to substrates of complex shapes. More specifically, DC cathodic electrosynthesis of ceramic oxides was pioneered by Zhitomirski [23][24][25][26] and further developed by other researchers [27][28][29]. Recently, the same approach was applied to the electrochemical production of photocatalytic TiO 2 or/and WO 3 -coated electrodes, on Pt or optically transparent electrodes [30][31][32][33].…”

Shape- and size-controlled electrochemical synthesis of cupric oxide nanocrystals

“…Since Switzer and co-workers [19,20] introduced an electrochemical method for the first time as a synthetic route to ceramic films as well as polycrystalline CeO 2 powders, nano-sized metal oxides prepared by an electrochemical method have been an active research area. A number of metal oxides thin films, including ZnO [21,22], zirconium oxide [23], tungsten oxide [24], bismuth oxide [25], Cu 2 O [26] and CuO [27][28][29], have been synthesized via an electrochemical method. Reetz and co-workers [30][31][32][33] proposed a sacrificial anode electrochemical route to synthesize nanometal clusters.…”

Photoelectrochemical characterisation of thermal and particulate titanium dioxide electrodes

“…they are made of TiO 2 nanoparticles further aggregated to micrometer-sized particles during thermal annealing. The catalyst layer is either synthesised in the laboratory by a variety of methods [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] or, alternatively, prepared from commercial Degussa P-25 TiO 2 suspensions by dip-coating, spraying or sedimentation techniques [19][20][21].…”
