The low photoelectric conversion efficiency of photoelectrode is an important factor that limits the ap-plication in photoelectrochemical cathodic protection(PECCP)field for marine anti-corrosion of metallic structures.In this work,a photoelectrode of TiO2/CdZnS/ZnS triple-phase heterojunction was fabricated by loading the narrow-band CdZnS associated with the broad-band ZnS via hydrothermal and continuous ion layer adsorption methods,respectively.The composite of CdZnS enhances the photoelectric conver-sion ability of TiO2,while the ZnS composite can prevent the CdZnS from photo-corrosion and suppress the spillover of the photogenerated electrons.The three-phase heterostructure effectively improves the PECCP performance on 316 L stainless steel(SS)under simulated solar irradiation,especially in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution without the sacrificial agent.In addition,the prepared TiO2/CdZnS/ZnS photoelectrode also performs anti-biofouling effect evidenced by the high removal efficiency of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa),which can be attributed to the oxidizability of photogenerated holes.The TiO2/CdZnS/ZnS triple-phase heterojunction with desirable performance is a promising semiconductor material for the applications of PECCP and anti-biofouling.
