Abstract
A study for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of oxalic acid has been reported using the self-organized TiO2 nanotube electrode prepared by anodic oxidation method. The prepared electrode was characterized by SEM and XPS. The electrocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanotube electrode was evaluated by CV and galvanostatic electrolysis. The CV studies and electrochemical experiments showed that TiO2 nanotube electrode exhibited high electrocatalytic activity. In addition, the surface of TiO2 nanotube electrode developed into a periodic lattice of nanopores after electrolysis, which makes it find a potential application as electrocatalysts.
