Toward Tailored Functionality Of Titania Nanotube Arrays: Interpretation Of The Magnetic-Structural Correlations, Pegah M. Hosseinpour, Eugen Panaitescu, Don Heiman, Latika Menon, Laura H. Lewis

Eugen Panaitescu

Ordered arrays of titania nanotubes (NTs) are considered as good candidates for photocatalytic applications including water splitting. Considering that the functionality of these nanostructures is influenced by their morphology, electronic and the crystallographic structure, fundamental understanding of these properties and their possible correlations can clarify the approaches toward enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. In this work, ordered arrays of titania NTs are synthesized electrochemically and are subjected to isochronal annealing treatments in various atmospheres (oxygen-rich, oxygen-deficient and reducing) to modify their morphology, crystal and electronic structure. Upon characterization of these NTs, direct correlations are found between the annealing atmosphere and the corresponding …
