The present project meets the challenge of exploring the use of photoelectrochemical devices based on Ti/TiO2/WO3 bicomponent nanostructured semiconductors prepared by templates and Si/TiO2/Pt prepared by microgrid heterojunction. The synthesis was performed by anodization and electrochemical deposition and the presence of anatese TiO2 and monoclinic WO3 was confirmed by X ray and EDS analysis. Difuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) analysis indicated Ti/TiO2/WO3 extension of optical absorption spectrum into the visible light region (red shift). Electrochemical characterisation was performed by linear sweep voltammetry under UV and visible light irradiation by two different lamp sources: 125 W high pressure mercury lamp and 150 W xenon lamp coupled to filters which isolte UV and visible light contribuition. Enhanced photocurrent response was obtained under high pressure mercury lamp 11,0 mA cm-2 and under xenon lamp irradiation the observed values are close to 0,4 mA cm-2. The Ti/TiO2/WO3 were used as photoanodes on the Reactive Black 5 (RB5) photoelectrochemical oxidation and simultaneous hydrogen generation in a two compartment PEC reactor. The photoanode`s performance was compared to the pure Ti/TiO2 nanotubes and W/WO3 nanoporous electrodes. The best experimental conditions leaded to 100% dye discoloration in the presence of TiO2, WO3 e TiO2/WO3 under mercury lamp irradiation, 73, 80 and 85% mineralization and satisfactory hydrogen generation estimated efficiencies of 43, 34 and 46%, respectively. Hydrogen generation was confirmed by gas chromatography analysis (CG/TCD). Complete dye degradation was obtained under UV and visible light irradiation of Si/TiO2/Pt photanodes and 30% of estimated hydrogen generation efficiency and 0,5 mA cm-2 photocurrent response under mercury lamp irradiation under the best experimental conditions. Dye removal and by-products generation were confirmed by LC-MS/MS by the detection of m/z 137, 280, 210, 297...
