Abstract

We report the fabrication of TiO₂ nanotube thin films using anodization method with HCl electrolyte and copper cathode. The process represents an alternative electrochemical approach using a non-noble metal cathode along with a safer electrolyte. In addition to the choice of electrolyte, the electrolyte concentration, anodization voltage, and anodization time all affect nanotube morphology. TiO₂ nanotubes with diameters as small as 10 nm were achieved.
