Abstract: TiO2 film was synthesized by means of the chemical bath deposition (C BD) method
from TiC l4 as a precursor and surfactant cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C TAB) as a linking
and assembling agent of the titanium hydroxide network on a graphite substrate. Ag and C u were
loaded on the TiO2 film by means of electrodeposition at various applied currents.
Photoelectrochemical testing on the composite of Ag-TiO2/G and C u-TiO2/G was used to define the
composite for Escherichia coli-contaminated water disinfection. Disinfection efficiency and the rate

of disinfection of E. coli-contaminated water with Ag-TiO2/G as a catalyst was higher than that
observed for C u-TiO2/G in all disinfection methods including photocatalysis (PC ), electrocatalysis
(EC ), and photoelectrocatalysis (PEC ). The highest rate constant was achieved by the PEC method
using Ag-TiO2/G, k was 6.49 × 10−2 C FU mL−1 min−1 . Effective disinfection times of 24 h (EDT24)
and 48 h (EDT48) were achieved in all methods except the EC method using C u-TiO2/G.
