چکیده

Rutile-phase TiO2 nanotube arrays without broken walls were formed by annealing of anodically formed nanotubes in a propane flame at 650 °C and in air at 750 °C. An unusual morphological transformation was observed from the ellipsoidal pore-shapes of titania nanotubes grown in aqueous electrolyte to a square-shaped pore structure subsequent to the anneals. 750 °C annealed nanotubes were found to be lightly p-type, rare in TiO2.

Enhancement of the electrochemical capacitance of TiO2 nanotube arrays through controlled phase transformation of anatase to rutile.

Here, we report the fabrication of self-organized titania (TiO(2)) nanotube array supercapacitor electrodes through controlled phase transformation of TiO(2), with aerial capacitances as high as 2.6 mF cm(-2), which far exceeds the values so far reported in the literature. The role of phase transformation in the electrochemical charge-discharge behaviour of nanocrystalline TiO(2) nanotubes is i...

Dynamic Diffraction Studies on the Crystallization, Phase Transformation, and Activation Energies in Anodized Titania Nanotubes

The influence of calcination time on the phase transformation and crystallization kinetics of anodized titania nanotube arrays was studied using in-situ isothermal and non-isothermal synchrotron radiation diffraction from room temperature to 900 °C. Anatase first crystallized at 400 °C, while rutile crystallized at 550 °C. Isothermal heating of the anodized titania nanotubes by an increase in t...

Textural Stability of Titania-Alumina Composite Membranes

Textural evolution (porosity reduction, pore and crystallite growth) in titania-alumina composite membranes has been studied using thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and N, physisorption techniques. The presence of alumina in the membranes improved the thermal stability of the porous texture by retarding the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation a...

Fabricated Antibacterial and Bioactive Titania Nanotube Arrays Coating on the Surface of Titanium

By photic-assisted deposition, Ag nanoparticles were assembled on bioactive TiO2 nanotube arrays, which were fabricated by anodic oxidation in 0.5 wt% NH4F solution containing 0.5 wt% Na2HPO4. The samples were characterized by scanning electron mincroscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Germiculture experimentation was employed to testing samples’ antibacterial capability. An obvious antibacte...
