Abstract: In this research, photoelectric-Fenton reaction (advanced oxidation program) and photocatalysis were combined for treating Rh B wastewater. A certain percentage of CeO₂ added into TiO₂ after calcination can improve the effect of degradation. The composite (TiO₂-CeO₂) was used to modify the stainless-steel material (SS316). The results showed that the porosity of the plate after optimal parameterization was 18%, indicating that the electrode can effectively increase the contact area of the composite TiO₂-CeO₂, increasing its response current 2.11 times in linear sweep voltammetry. The conductivity of the modified electrode was 1.88 times greater than that of SS316 in a four-point probe experiment. In the Tafel corrosion experiment, the plate after optimal parameterization had a corrosion potential ranging from -299 mV to -160 mV and a corrosion current ranging from 524 nA to 107 nA, which greatly improved the anticorrosion effect of the original SS316 substrate. In the photoelectric-Fenton experiment, the degradation rate of the composite electrode was 50.83% in 30 min, which was 1.26 times higher that of the SS316 substrate. The results showed that the 3 TiO₂: 1 CeO₂:/SS316 electrode has good stability and a good degradation effect in the Photoelectric Fenton process.
