Abstract:
The Ti/SnO
2-NiO-RuO
2 electrodes with different doping amounts (0, 9.1%, 16.7%, 23.1%, 28.6%, mole fraction) of RuO
2 were prepared by thermal decomposition method. The effect of doping amount of RuO
2 on the electrocatalytic degradation performance of the Ti/SnO
2-NiO-RuO
2 electrodes was studied. The results show that doping RuO
2 increased the concentration of adsorbed oxygen, the number of active sites and the kinds of valence states of ions on the surface of Ti/SnO
2-NiO-RuO
2 electrode. Moreover, the specific surface area and voltammetric charge density of the electrode were improved, the electrocatalytic degradation was promoted, and the strengthening life of the electrode was prolonged. The Ti/SnO
2-NiO-RuO
2 electrode had the fastest electrocatalytic degradation speed for methyl orange when the doping amount of RuO
2 was 23.1%, and the degradation rate was the largest, reaching 87% after degradation for 3 h, which was 30% higher than that of the electrode undoped RuO
2; the electrode had a good electrocatalytic effect.
