This paper presents the fabrication of nanoceramic layers by electrophoretic deposition. Suspensions containing TiO nanoparticles were prepared in different organic solvents, such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, and acetylacetone. During electrophoretic deposition, the color of organic media at around 200 V cm began to change. This phenomenon is related to the anodic dissolution, which may assist deposition processes in some cases. Deviation from Hamaker's equation was observed upon measuring the deposited mass using different anode electrodes. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to measure concentrations of chemical elements liberated in the suspension due to the dissolution of anodes. These results show that anodic dissolution directly affects deposition rate. We observed this event even in the absence of powder and additives. Therefore, this is advantageous if anodic contaminants are not effective or influential.
