Thermal Ramping Rate during Annealing of TiO2 Nanotubes Greatly Affects Performance of Photoanodes

Abstract: Herein, highly ordered TiO2 nanotube (NT) arrays on a Ti substrate is synthesized in a fluoride‐containing electrolyte, using the electrochemical anodization method, which yields amorphous oxide tubes. The effects of different thermal annealing profiles for the crystallization of the amorphous TiO2 NTs are studied. It is found that the temperature ramping rate has a significant impact on the magnitude of the resulting photocurrents (incident photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency [IPCE]) from the tubes.

“…The optical band gaps were determined by the Kubelka–Munk equation using diffuse reflectance measurements and found to be 2.26 eV for all samples (Figure b). The latter is in line with literature values. , Figure a represents the DRS spectra of the S-0.5, S-1, and S-2 NF samples. As shown, all samples show reduced light reflection (Figure a spectra) as well as low light transmittance (Figure a, inset image), indicating strong absorption in the visible spectral range.…”

“…The area of SnS 2 NFs subjected to the irradiation was approximately 5 mm 2 . The IPCE value for each wavelength was obtained using eq where J ph is the photocurrent density (mA cm –2 ), P is the power density of incident light (W cm –2 ), h ν is the photon energy of the incident light (1240 eV nm –1 ), and λ is the wavelength of the light (nm).…”
