Abstract

CoO/Al2O3 composite films on the aluminum substrate were prepared by micro-arc oxidation technology with the doping electrolyte. The surface microstructure and phases of the composite films were investigated and analyzed by SEM and XRD, respectively. The formation mechanism of the composite films and the catalytic degradation of methyl orange by CoO/Al2O3 composite films were discussed. The results show that micro-arc oxidation films mainly consist of CoO and Al2O3 phases, and CoO phase is deposited onto the surface or into the hole of Al2O3 ceramic layer. Co(OH)2 colloid is formed due to the addition of Co(CH3COO)2 in alkaline electrolyte, and CoO is formed owing to the decomposition of Co(OH)2 colloid under the thermal chemical action, this is attributed to the formation of CoO/Al2O3 composite films. The degradation rate of methyl orange reaches 96.4% by the catalysis of the CoO/Al2O3 composite films for 10 h.
