Anodic TiO2 nanotube: influence of annealing temperature on the photocatalytic degradation of carbamazepine

Anodic TiO2 nanotube: influence of annealing temperature on the photocatalytic degradation of... The effect of annealing temperature on the morphology, structure, and photocatalytic response of TiO2 nanotubular prepared by anodization of a pure titanium foil was investigated. The anodization was carried out in a glycerol/H2O/NH4F electrolyte at room temperature, with two-electrode configurations.

The results revealed that the annealing temperature affects strongly the morphology, the crystallinity, and the phase composition of the TiO2 nanotubes.

Abstract

The effect of annealing temperature on the morphology, structure, and photocatalytic response of TiO2 nanotubular prepared by anodization of a pure titanium foil was investigated. The anodization was carried out in a glycerol/H2O/NH4F electrolyte at room temperature, with two-electrode configurations. The morphology and structure of the nanotubes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. The results revealed that the annealing temperature affects strongly the morphology, the crystallinity, and the phase composition of the TiO2 nanotubes. The as-anodized TiO2 nanotube layers present an amorphous structure and the crystallization to the anatase phase begins at 400 °C. In addition, the rutile phase was observed at 600 °C. Of the anatase phase, 83.3% is transformed into rutile when annealing temperature increases from 400 to 700 °C. It is found that the phase composition of TiO2 impacts directly the photocatalytic degradation of the carbamazepine. The high photocatalytic activity was reached when the mixture of anatase and rutile exhibited a composition of about 56.3% and 43.7%, respectively. Increasing solution pH from 4 to 10 increases the degradation efficiency from 74.6 to 83%.
