Synthesis Of Free Standing Anodic Zro2 Nanotubes In Potassium Carbonate Ethylene Glycol Electrolyte For Photocatalyst Application
ZrO2 nanotubes were successfully synthesis by using anodisation method. Mixture of ethylene glycol (EG) with ammonium fluoride (NH4F) produced coral-like structures morphology of ZrO2. Lack of oxygen provider in electrolyte limit the growth of ZrO2 nanotubes using anodisation method. Therefore, addi...
