AB  - Ta2O5 coatings were created using micro-arc discharges (MDs) during anodization on a tantalum substrate in a sodium phosphate electrolyte (10 g/L Na3PO4·10H2O). During the process, the size of MDs increases while the number of MDs decreases. The elements and their ionization states present in MDs were identified using optical emission spectroscopy. The hydrogen Balmer line Hβ shape analysis revealed the presence of two types of MDs, with estimated electron number densities of around 1.1 × 1021 m−3 and 7.3 × 1021 m−3. The effect of MDs duration on surface morphology, phase and chemical composition, optical absorption, and photoluminescent, properties of Ta2O5 coatings, as well as their applications in photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange, were investigated. The created coatings were crystalline and were primarily composed of Ta2O5 orthorhombic phase. Since Ta2O5 coatings feature strong absorption in the ultraviolet light region below 320 nm, their photocatalytic activity is very high and increases with the time of the MDs process. This was associated with an increase of oxygen vacancy defects in coatings formed during the MDs, which was confirmed by photoluminescent measurements. The photocatalytic activity after 8 h of irradiation was around 69%, 74%, 80%, and 88% for Ta2O5 coatings created after 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min, respectively.

AB  - The synthesis of Eu3+-doped MgAl oxide coatings containing MgO and MgAl2O4 was accomplished through plasma electrolytic oxidation of AZ31 magnesium alloy in aluminate electrolyte with the addition of Eu2O3 particles in various concentrations. Their morphological, structural, and above all, photoluminescent (PL) and photocatalytic activity (PA) were thoroughly investigated. PL emission spectra of MgAl oxide coatings feature characteristic emission peaks, which are ascribed to f–f transitions of Eu3+ ions from excited level 5D0 to lower levels 7FJ. The charge transfer state of Eu3+ or direct excitation of the Eu3+ ground state 7F0 into higher levels of the 4f-manifold are both attributed to the PL peaks that appear in the excitation PL spectra of the obtained coatings. The fact that the transition 5D0 → 7F2 (electrical dipole transition) in Eu3+-doped MgAl oxide coatings is considerably stronger than the transition 5D0 → 7F1 (magnetic dipole transition) indicates that Eu3+ ions occupied sites with non-inversion symmetry. Because of oxygen vacancy formation, the Eu3+-doped MgAl oxide coatings had a higher PA in the degradation of methyl orange than the pure MgAl oxide coating. The highest PA was found in Eu3+-doped MgAl oxide coating formed in an aluminate electrolyte with 4 g/L of Eu2O3 particles. The PA, morphology, and phase of Eu3+-doped MgAl oxide coatings did not change after several consecutive runs, indicating outstanding stability of these photocatalysts.

AB  - MgAl and MgAl/ZnO coatings were prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of AZ31 magnesium alloy in aluminate electrolyte (5 g/L NaAlO2) without and with addition of ZnO particles in various concentrations. The MgAl coating was partially crystallized and contained MgO and MgAl2O4 phases. The addition of ZnO particles to aluminate electrolyte had no significant effect on the surface morphology of formed coatings, while the Zn content increased with ZnO particle concentrations. X-ray diffraction confirmed the incorporation of ZnO particles in the coatings. The photodegradation of methyl orange (10 cm3 of 8 mg/L) was used to measure the photocatalytic activity (PA) of MgAl and MgAl/ZnO coatings. The PA of MgAl coating after 8 h of irradiation was around 58%, while the PA of MgAl/ZnO coatings formed in aluminate electrolyte with the addition of ZnO particles in concentrations of 4 g/L, 8 g/L, and 12 g/L were around 69%, 86%, and 97%, respectively.
