Abstract:
Due to its advantages of high chemical stability, wind energy gap, nontoxic and low cost, titanium dioxide exhibits widely promising application in many fields, such as environmental management, new renewable energy and tissue engineering. It has been believed that the morphology of titanium dioxide plays a crucial role on their performance. Among different morphologies, titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) fabricated via anodic oxidation method has a highly ordered structure, which makes titanium dioxide possess numerous application in dye sensitized solar cell, matrix for loading novel metal catalysts and the surface modification of implant. The development of the TNTs preparation and application in dye sensitized solar cell, matrix for loading novel metal catalysts and surface modification of implant is summarized in the present paper. The future development of TNT is outlooked based on the work of authors group and other literature from other research groups all over the world.
