Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the traditional single-step anodic oxidation method also has the following shortcomings: (1) The morphology of the nanotube array film synthesized in a single electrolyte is affected by the properties of the electrolyte itself, and it is difficult to synthesize a gradient without changing the electrolyte. Nanotube array films; (2) When single-step anodization is used, the applied electrochemical conditions are fixed, and it is difficult to synthesize gradient nanotube array films under fixed electrochemical conditions
So far, there have been no reports in the literature on the preparation of nanotube array films with gradient characteristics on "valve metal" single substrates

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of preparing a gradient TiO2 nanotube array film by utilizing the method of multi-step anodic oxidation. Firstly, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride, glycerin and deionized water are adopted as raw materials and prepared into a water-base electrolyte and an organic electrolyte respectively; secondly, the two electrode systems composed of a titanium foil sheet and a platinum sheet are placed into the water-base electrolyte and the organic electrolyte for a repeated anodic oxidation; and finally, the TiO2 nanotube array film material with a gradient structure is generated on the titanium foil sheet. The method is fit for manufacturing photoelectrochemical apparatuses of various types and has a far-ranging application prospect in the industrial fields of light energy utilization, green energy development, sewage disposal and so on.
