Abstract

The article presents the results of changing  the pore size depending on the amount of poreforming agent and measuring the specific surface area depending on the sintering temperature. A three-dimensional porous photoanode was produced from a mixture of nanosized Co3O4 and TiO2 powders with various amounts of poreforming agent for further mixing in an aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscope studies of the morphology of a three-dimensional thinfilm porous photoanode showed the formation of a porous structure with submicron pore sizes depending on the added pore-forming agent. The largest surface area of a three-dimensional structure will be achieved using the developed technology using a mixture of materials that play the role of pore-forming in the anode material, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of light absorption by creating a mixed or multilayer structure of several photocatalytic materials.
