Abstract
Noble metal nanoparticles have attracted extensive attention by many researchers because of their optical, electrical and magnetic advantages. Half hexagon sheet Ag and Ag nanoparticles inside 3D-TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTAs) on Ti gauze was firstly synthesized by electrodeposition. The addition has a great influence on the morphology of Ag. When Ag hexagonal side length reached a maximum of 2 μm for 20 pluses, hexagonal Ag would transform oval Sphere with depositional pulses continuing increases, Ag nanoparticle inside 3D-TiO2 NTAs also were found, and the Ag modified NTAs for 20 pulses with the best photo-catalytic activity degraded methyl orange (MO) under solar light irradiation. Due to 3D-TiO2 NTAs supporting Ag catalyst, which is a benefit for recycling after the catalyst. This work is expected to provide a fundamental guide for the design of novel morphology catalysts on Ti gauze, which is conducive to recycling.
