Ultrafast Room-Temperature Crystallization of TiO(2) Nanotubes Exploiting Water-Vapor Treatment

In this manuscript a near-room temperature crystallization process of anodic nanotubes from amorphous TiO(2) to anatase phase with a fast 30 minutes treatment is reported for the first time. This method involves the exposure of as-grown TiO(2) nanotubes to water vapor flow in ambient atmosphere. The...

description In this manuscript a near-room temperature crystallization process of anodic nanotubes from amorphous TiO(2) to anatase phase with a fast 30 minutes treatment is reported for the first time. This method involves the exposure of as-grown TiO(2) nanotubes to water vapor flow in ambient atmosphere. The water vapor-crystallized samples are deeply investigated in order to gain a whole understanding of their structural, physical and chemical properties. The photocatalytic activity of the converted material is tested by dye degradation experiment and the obtained performance confirms the highly promising properties of this low-temperature processed material.
