Abstract
Titanium dioxide, or TiO<sub>2</sub>, is one of materials science's most well-studied substances. It is utilized, for
example, in photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and biomedical devices due to several special features.
TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes, sometimes referred to as titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs), have garnered a great deal of interest lately. The anodization-based creation of nanospheres and its impact on potential variation is examined in this study. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) are used to characterize structural research. The band gap of the samples anodized at four different voltages ranging from 12 to 40 V was examined using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The sample with the lowest band gap and clear nanospheres is the one anodized at
12 V.
