Fabrication of self-organized TiO2 nanotubes from columnar titanium thin films sputtered on semiconductor surfaces

Electrochemical properties of ordered TiO2 nanotube loaded with Ag nano-particles for lithium anode material

“…1e displays the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy of TiO 2 nanotube, and it exhibits that the concentration of Ti atom is approximate 33% and that of oxygen atom is about 67% for this nanoporous layer. This result implies the nanotube array is composed of TiO 2 , which is similar with the results of Vázquez and co-workers [9] and Premchand et al [18].…”

Nanostructured titanium–silver coatings with good antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility fabricated by one-step magnetron sputtering

“…During magnetron sputtering, T s is typically below 150 o C in the absence of an external heat source whereas T f of pure Ti is 1668 o C. When T s /T f < 0.3, the coating will be composed of columnar crystals [29]. As shown by our results, Ag forms an additional phase to block the growth of the columnar structure thereby explaining the sparseness and eventual disappearance of the columnar structure as the Ag…”

Highly conformal electrodeposition of copolymer electrolytes into titania nanotubes for 3D Li-ion batteries

“…Synthesis of self-organized TiO 2 nt has been widely reported for a wide range of applications [21-24]. In the present work, TiO 2 nt layers were produced by the electrochemical anodization of Ti foils using the Modulab potentiostat from Solartron Analytical (Hampshire, UK).…”
