ABSTRACTWe report on non-particulate titania photoelectrodes with a unique highly-ordered nanotube-array architecture prepared by an anodization process that enables precise control over array dimensions. Under 320–400 nm illumination titania nanotube-array photoanodes, pore size 110 nm, wall thickness 20 nm, and 6 μm length, generate hydrogen by water photoelectrolysis at a normalized rate of 80 mL/W•hr, to date the most efficient titania-based photoelectrochemical device, with a conversion efficiency of 12.25%. The highly-ordered nanotubular architecture allows for superior charge separation and charge transport, with a calculated quantum efficiency of nearly 100% for incident photons with energies larger than the titania bandgap.

Titania Nanotube

The well-defined titania nanotube arrays with a tunable pore size and tube length have been fabricated in an organic medium-assisted anodization process. The obtained titania nanotubes have been applied for electric double layer capacitor applications. The electrochemical capacitance performance is highly dependent on the pore size and tube length of nanotube arrays. The increase of pore size can significantly enhance specific capacitance of titania nanotube arrays. Comparatively, the increase of tube length can only improve specific capacitance to a small degree. In addition, a higher specific capacitance of titania nanotube array can be achieved in an acidic solution rather than an alkali solution.

Abstract Highly ordered titania nanotube arrays were synthesised on titanium metal foil through electrochemical anodisation. The annealed samples were characterised through scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The electrochemical characterisations of the arrays were done through cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses. The titania nanotube arrays exhibited a specific capacitance of 6.8 mF cm–2 at 5 mV s–1 scan rate, which is very much higher than that reported earlier. Pseudocapacitive metal oxides were deposited on these arrays forming composite supercapacitor electrodes and their supercapacitor properties were compared with same deposited on bare titanium foil substrates. Pseudocapacitive metal oxides deposited on these titania nanotube array substrates exhibited improved supercapacitor performance and stability over the same deposited on titanium foil substrates.

Abrasive Paper

Titania nanotube arrays were fabricated in deionize water and glycerol mixed electrolyte containing a certain amount of NH4F. Three different polishing methods were used for pretreatment of Ti substrates: polished by hand with abrasive paper, by polishing machine, or by chemical polishing fluid (HF:HNO3=1:4, in volumetric ratio). The morphology of three different samples were imaged by scanning electron microscopy, and their photoelectrical properties were studied as well. Experimental results showed that Titania nanotube arrays grown on the Ti substrate and polished by polishing fluid has highly-ordered and well-defined nanotube structure. The effects of anodization potential and duration on synthesis of highly-ordered TiO2nanotubes were also studied in this paper. Both the layer thickness and nanotube diameter linearly increase with the increasing potential. The layer thickness also increases with prolongation of anodization time. By optimizing the preparation conditions, we can successfully control the geometrical structure of TiO2nanotube arrays with diameters in the range between 50 and 200 nm and the layer thickness between 800 and 2000 nm.
