研究目的
Investigating the effect of DI water content on the growth of anatase TiO2 nanotubes synthesized by anodization process for applications in UV photodetectors, gas sensors, dye sensitized solar cells, and photocatalysts.
研究成果
High quality anatase TiO2 nanotubes were successfully grown on Ti foil using electrochemical anodization with varying DI water concentrations. The diameter and length of the nanotubes can be controlled by adjusting the DI water content, with 12 wt% DI water concentration being optimal for UV photodetector applications due to its high volume to surface area ratio and long tube length.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effect of DI water concentration on TiO2 nanotubes' morphology and does not explore other anodization parameters like voltage or time in depth. Potential for optimization in the anodization process to achieve better control over nanotube dimensions.
