Article Description

Effect of ethylene glycol (EG) concentration on the micromorphology and photocatalytic property of TiO 2 nanotubes was investigated. When EG concentration is varied from 10% to 90%, Ti foil was first oxidized to form a multiporous structure, and the nanotube structure was observed at EG concentration of 70%. Increasing the EG concentration further resulted in more regular and longer TiO 2 nanotube arrays with smaller diameters. The photocatalysis experiments showed that the nanotube structure was beneficial for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B; however, TiO 2 nanotubes with smaller diameters displayed decreased catalytic activity.
