The invention discloses a photo-
anode for slowing down
corrosion in a photoelectrocatalysis
wastewater treatment process by using amorphous
cobalt phosphate Co-Pi, a preparation method and applicationthereof. The method comprises the following steps: depositing a Bi
metal film on the surface of a
fluorine-doped
tin oxide substrate under a dark condition; and dropwise adding a solution of vanadylacetylacetonate, annealing, converting the Bi
metal film into a BiVO4 substrate film, soaking the BiVO4 substrate film in an
electrolyte solution containing a chelating agent, applying a constant potential to obtain an
electrode film, and electrodepositing
cobalt phosphate to obtain the photo-
anode. According to the method, an
electrode film material is synthesized through simple photo-assisted electro-deposition, rapid capture and release of holes are completed in the process of photoelectrocatalytic degradation of organic micro-pollutants in water by utilizing the
cyclic process of the valence state of a
cobalt element in CoPi, and self-oxidation
corrosion of an internal BiVO4 / Cu2O photoelectrode is inhibited. The
electrode film is easy to recycle, the
crystal structure of the material is not changed after degradation experiments, and the electrode film is an environment-friendly material.
