dc.description.abstractIn this article, patents and literature about the synthesis and potential applications of titania nanotubes forphotocatalytic and photovoltaic devices are presented. Oxidation of water by titania thin films was reported in 1972 forthe first time. In the following years, titania nanoparticles, nanorods and nanotubes have been intensively studied for thisand other potential applications. Potential applications for photochemical oxidation of water are in the areas of watertreatment for removing organic contaminants and microorganisms and hydrogen production. Other exciting potentialapplications of titania nanotubes are in the generation of electric energy in solar cells, electric charge storage, and in coatingsfor endoprosthesis. The considerably higher surface area of titania nanotubes compared with nanorods and nanoparticlesof the same size significantly increases the efficiency of devices based on titania nanotubes, especially for surfacecontrolled applications such as water oxidation and solar power generation.
