Abstract
The formation of anodic oxide films on Cu-Co (5 to 40 wt %) alloys in berat e buffer solutions is studied by voltammetry and photocurrent measurements. It is shown that cobalt oxide Co2O3 is photosensitive; the formation of ox ide films on the alloy surface and their composition depend on the alloy co mposition and the solution temperature.
