Abstract

We review the history, fabrication procedures, and mechanisms of TiO2 nanotubes prepared by the anodic oxidation of titanium. The influence of various preparation factors, such as electrolytes, pH value, voltage, bath temperature, and post treatment, on the structure and morphology of the TiO2 nanotubes are discussed. This review also summarizes the application of TiO2 nanotubes to dye-sensitized solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and bulk heterojunction solar cells. A perspective on the future development of TiO2nanotubes and their applications is tentatively discussed.
