Abstract: Anovel composite electrode which has both of the functions of synthesizing H2O2and photocatalysis is reported.This double function composite electrode was prepared by loading the photocatalyst TiO2/Con a novel substrate which can synthesize H2O2The porous properties of TiO2/Cphotocatalysis layer can make the novel carrier synthsizing H2O2efficiently.The current efficiency attained a value of 82%(J=15mA/cm2), and the novel carrier made TiO2gaining an anodic bias which is very important for improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO2In this novel system, photochemistry and photocatalysis oxidization were combined near the interface of electrode/solution and thus the degradation rate of organic molecules enhanced rapidly.
