Abstract A novel ZnFe2O4/TiO2/flake graphite composite material was synthesized and used as particle electrodes in a photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system to investigate the degradation of rhodamine B as a model dye pollutant in water. Results showed that a PEC process with the new composite evidently led to enhanced degradation of rhodamine B due to a synergistic effect of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Operating variables including electrolyte concentration, applied cell voltage, air flow, composite dosage, solution pH, and dye concentration were also found to play important roles in rhodamine B removal. A 99.0% removal efficiency was observed within 30 min of treatment under optimum conditions of 0.01 mol/L Na2SO4, applied cell voltage of 15 V, air flow of 20 mL/min, composite dosage of 10 g/L, solution pH of 2, and rhodamine B concentration of 20 mg/L, with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.278 min−1. These findings could provide new insights into the development of efficient PEC technologies on degradation of residual dyes in water.

AbstractTitanium dioxide is a promising catalyst for application in the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water due to its powerful oxidising property and long-term photostability. This study presents the production of titanium dioxide using the sol-gel process, dye sensitisation of the TiO2 electrode, and the performance of that cell. Sensitisation of titanium dioxide was performed using a dye, i.e., Fe(II)-polypyridyl complexes. The photoelectrocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RB) using ITO/TiO2/dye as electrode was investigated via a series of potentials, from +1.0 V to −1.0 V, and at various pH and NaCl concentration values (ITO is indium tin oxide conductive glass). The photoelectrocatalytic degradation of RB was performed with a visible light lamp. The change in the absorbance of RB with various potentials indicated that the absorbance of RB in solution systems with the sensitised TiO2 electrodes decreased with increasing anodic potential bias. The degradation cell exhibited better performance when the positive anodic bias was applied. The pH values of RB in solution systems also influence the photoelectrodegradation process because of the different RB species present. NaCl concentration also affects the activity of RB photoelectrocatalytic degradation due to changes in the ionic strength character of the electrolyte.

Photoelectrocatalytic degradation towards rhodamine B (RhB) organic compound has been conducted by using TiO2/Ti as the working electrode. The preparation of TiO2/Ti working electrode was conducted by using anodizing method to compare the data related to the activity of the electrodes. The results showed that TiO2/Ti electrodes was able to change the surface morphology of the electrodes to become more homogeneous. From the test results photoelectrocatalysis activity was obtained at a COD value of 20.40 mL/L which occurred in RhB dyes with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L. Keywords: photoelectrocatalysis, degradation, rhodamine B, TiO2/Ti. ABSTRAK  Degradasi secara fotoelektrokatalitik senyawa organik rhodamine B (RhB) telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan TiO2/Ti sebagai elektroda kerja.
