Fabrication and Photocatalytic Activities of TiO2 Nanotube Arrays

Article Preview

Abstract:

TiO2 nanotube arrays were prepared using template-based liquid phase deposition method. Their morphologies and structures were investigated by scanning electron micro¬scopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The photocatalytic properties of the samples were evaluated with the degradation of methylene blue under UV irradiation. It was found that the TiO2 nanotube arrays annealed at 900 °C showed the highest photocatalytic activity.
