Anodization Time

In this work, a highly ordered TiO2 nanotube array on pure titanium (Ti) was prepared by anodization. The effects of the applied voltage and anodization time on the microstructure of the TiO2 nanotube arrays were investigated, and their hydrophilicity was evaluated by the water contact angle measurement. It was found that a highly ordered array of TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on the surface of pure Ti by anodized under the applied voltage of 20 V and the anodization time in the range of 6-12 h, and the nanotube diameter and length can be regulated by anodization time. The as-prepared TiO2 nanotubes were in an amorphous structure. After annealing at 550°C for 3 h, the amorphous TiO2 can be transformed to the anatase TiO2 through crystallization. The anatase TiO2 array exhibited a greatly improved hydrophilicity, depending on the order degree of the array and the diameter of the nanotubes. The sample anodized at 20 V for 12 h and then annealed at 550°C for 3 h exhibited a superhydrophilicity due to its highly ordered anatase TiO2 nanotube array with a tube diameter of 103.5 nm.

In this study, a highly-ordered TiO2 nanotube array was successfully fabricated on the surface of a pure titanium foil using the anodization method, and a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer was electrochemically deposited on the vertically aligned titania (TiO2) nanotube array. The TiO2 nanotubes exhibited an inner diameter ranging from 44.5 to 136.8 nm, a wall thickness of 9.8 to 20 nm and a length of 1.25 to 3.94 µm, depending on the applied potential, and the anodization time and temperature. The TiO2 nanotubes provided a high number of nucleation sites for the HA precipitation during electrochemical deposition, resulting in the formation of a nanoscale HA layer with a particle size of about 50 nm. The bond strength between the HA coating and the nanotubular layer with an inner diameter of 136.8 nm was over 28.7 MPa, and the interlocking between the nanoscale HA and the TiO2 nanotubes may have been responsible for the high bond strength. The biocompatibility assessment was conducted on Ti foil with a composite coat of nanoscale HA and the TiO2 nanotube array by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) array with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The mesenchymal stem cells adhered to and spread onto the nanoscale HA layer with plenty of extending filopodia, indicating excellent biocompatibility of the HA coat, the composite coat of nanoscale HA and the TiO2 nanotube array. The findings suggest that the nanoscale HA coating on the TiO2 nanotube array might be a promising way to improve the bond strength and the compatibility of the HA layer.

Zinc-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by immersing TiO2 nanotube arrays in zinc-containing solution for hours. And subsequent heat-treatment was crucial for Zn2+ coming into the crystal lattice of TiO2 nanotubes. TEM analysis was used as main technique to investigate the structure of zinc-doped TiO2 nanotubes, and found that the Zn2+ ions only combine into the lattice of TiO2 nanotubes. This kind of doping can change the valence structure in the surface of TiO2 nanotube array. The obtained zinc-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays have potential application in photocatalysis.

A Zr4+-doped anatase TiO2 nanotube array electrode was prepared using a process that included Ti anodizing, chemical immersion, and heat treatment. The compositions, microstructure, and electrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes were characterized. The results show that Zr4+ was successfully introduced into the TiO2 nanotube array electrodes. Because Zr4+ was doped into the crystal structure of the TiO2and replaced a part of Ti4+ to form more oxygen vacancies and Ti3+, the electrocatalytic activity of the prepared electrodes, for the reduction of L-cystine, was significantly improved.
