Abstract:

Vertically aligned anatase TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) were fabricated by anodization of a pureTi foil in ethylene glycol solutions containing different concentrations of deionized (DI) water. Themorphology, elemental composition, and crystallization of TiO2 nanostructures were analyzed byfield emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Ramanspectroscopy, and X-ray spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The diameter and length of TiO2 NTswere controlled by varying concentrations of DI water. Furthermore, we found that TiO2 NTs in DIwater 12 wt. % was suitable for further applications in UV photodetector due to it has a high volumeto surface area ratio and long tube. TiO2 NTs have a high potential in various applications such as UVphotodetectors, gas sensor, dye sensitized solar cells, and photocatalysts.
