摘要:
V-doped TiO2 nanotubes array was successfully fabricated on a Ti-V alloy via an electrochemical anodization process. The crystal phase and surface morphology of the nanostructured film were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The solution diffusive behavior on TiO2 nanotubes was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis in an aqueous electrolyte containing 0.05 M Na2SO3. A schematic diagram of the interface solution induced into nanotube by photocatalysis on V-doped TiO2 under visible light irradiation was proposed in the study. Considerable photogenerated holes migrate to the interface of TiO2/electrolyte and react with OH-, forming hydroxyl radicals, which induce the electrolyte into the nanotube and improve the hydrophilicity. It was found that the photoelectrocatalytic reaction of TiO2 nanotubes determined the diffusion behavior of the solution; faster diffusion was observed on the V-doped TiO2 nanotubes array under visible light irradiation. The results also demonstrated that EIS is a powerful tool for characterizing the complicate diffusion behavior within the porous nanostructures.
