Effect of the structure of the oxidized titanium surface on the particle size and properties of the deposited copper-molybdate catalyst

The parameters of wetting of oxide coatings on titanium formed by the method of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in an aqueous silicate electrolyte with subsequent deposition of a layer of TiO2 nanoparticles and ultrasonic treatment by a polymer-salt gel including copper and molybdenum compounds have been investigated. The effect of the oxidized surface microrelief, TiO2 nanoparticle layer, and pore shape and size on impregnation solution spreading and the structure of the copper-molybdenum catalytic coating formed at further thermal treatment has been demonstrated. Complex oxide composites with ultradispersed catalyst particle sizes characterized with high activity in oxidation of carbon black particles have been obtained.
