| description |
Cu2O-Cu3VO4 films were obtained by electrochemical synthesis. The analysis of polarization curves and Pourbaix diagrams for copper and vanadium ions made it possible to analyze the possible reactions that occur during the deposition of films. At potentials from 0 to -0.2V, mainly monovalent copper oxide Cu2O with Cu3VO4 impurities precipitated in the working solution. At the same time, there are two competing processes of acidification of the near-electrode layer as a result Cu2O formation reaction and alkalinization as a result of the chemical interaction of Cu2O with HVO42-. The formation of an excess of OH- ions can inhibit the reaction rate of the formation of Cu3VO4, accelerating the reaction of the formation of Cu2O. Thus, deposition of Cu3VO4 will take place to a lesser extent compared to Cu2O. Accordingly, to increase the yield of Cu3VO4, an attempt was made to reduce the deposition current, which, according to literature, helps to reduce the effect of the pH change near the electrode layer.

For the synthesis of the films, a current of up to 1 mA/cm2 selected, which contributed to the production of the Cu3VO4 - Cu2O composite, as was established further from the analysis of X-ray patterns. It is shown that their photoelectrochemical properties depend on the heat treatment conditions.
