| Abstract: |
| In this paper, electrochemical synthesis of self-organized TiO_2 nanotubes, grown by anodization of Ti in the third generation (polar electrolytes) at different reaction times, is reported. In electrolytes containing ethylene glycol, addition of small amounts of fluorides and DI water, results in formation of nanotube morphology that is strongly influenced by the reaction time, besides all variables. It is explained that to achieve a perfect TiO_2 nanotube array, synthesis and preparation are critical concepts, independently. Depending on the experimental conditions, the stable nanotubes of various tube’s length, and diameter and thickness of about 50 and 30 nm, respectively, are formed. |
