Novel Ti/TiO2 and Ti/Pt-TiO2 mesh photoelectrodes were produced by anodizing titanium mesh in H2SO4 solution. Their structural and surface morphology were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The analytical results indicated that the crystal structure, morphology and pore size were affected significantly by the voltage and current density applied in anodization and the percentage platinum content. The results of XPS measurement showed that the binding energy of O 1s and Ti 2p increased slightly owing to platinum deposition (Pt-0, Pt2+ and Pt4+) onto the TiO2 surface. The photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation of methyl orange in aqueous solution using the Ti/TiO2 and Ti/Pt-TiO2 meshes was investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that Ti/TiO2 mesh prepared at 160 V and 110 mA cm(-2) achieved the best PEC oxidation. The efficiency of PEC oxidation could be further enhanced by applying an electrical bias between the working electrode and counter electrode. An optimal electrical bias voltage was found to be 0.6 V, while an optimal platinum content was 3.37%.
