Abstract
Layers of TiO2 nanotubes formed through an anodization process are an area of active research in the context of innovative energy conversion and storage systems. Titanium nanotubes (TNT) have attracted attention due to their unique properties, especially their high surface-to-volume ratio, making them a desirable material for various technological applications. The anodizing method is widely used for the production of TNT due to its simplicity and relative cheapness, the method allows precise control of the thickness of TiO2 nanotubes. Anodizing can also be used to create decorative and colored coatings on titanium nanotubes. In this study, a combined structure comprising anodic TiO2 nanotubes and SrTiO3 particles was created using chemical synthesis methods. TiO2 nanotubes were prepared by anodizing in ethylene glycol containing NH4F and Н2O using a voltage of 30 volts.The anodic nanotube array, heat-treated at 450°C, was then placed in an autoclave filled with a dilute SrTiO3 solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that TNT are characterized by clear and open tube ends. With an average outer diameter of 1 µm and an inner diameter of 69 nm, and their length is 133 nm.
