Abstract
Effect of ethylene glycol (EG) concentration on the micromorphology and photocatalytic property of TiO2 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 TiO2 nanotube arrays with smaller diameters. The photocatalysis experiments showed that the nanotube structure was beneficial for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B; however, TiO2 nanotubes with smaller diameters displayed decreased catalytic activity.
