Abstract

By adjusting the oxidation voltage, electrolyte, anodizing time and other parameters, TiO₂ nanotubes with high aspect ratio can be prepared by oxidation in organic system because anodic oxidation method has the advantage of simple preparation process, low material cost and controllable morphology. This review focusses on the influence of anodizing parameters on the morphology of TiO₂ nanotube arrays prepared by anodizing. In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ nanotubes under visible light and to prolong the life of photo-generated carriers, the research status of improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ nanotubes in recent years is reviewed. This review focusses on the preparation and modification of TiO₂ nanotubes by anodic oxidation, which is helpful to understand the best structure of TiO₂ nanotubes and the appropriate modification methods, thus guiding the application of TiO₂ nanotubes in practical photocatalysis. Finally, the development of TiO₂ nanotubes is prospected.
