Formation Of Tio2 Nanotubular Structure In Fluorinated Ethylene Glycol Electrolytes Containing Additives By Anodisation
TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) have attracted significant interest as the most promising candidate for photo-induced reaction applications. The electrolyte composition is the one of critical factor for oxide formation by anodisation. The TNTs were fabricated in ethylene glycol (EG)/ ammonium fluoride (...

TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) have attracted significant interest as the most promising candidate for photo-induced reaction applications.
