Abstract

Self-ordered Nb2O5-TiO2 nanotube arrays were synthesized by an anodization method from a Ti-Nb alloy. Compared with pure TiO2 nanotubes, Nb2O5-TiO2 nanotubes show enhanced surface hydrophilicity and low charge-transfer resistance. The beneficial Nb-doping effects also exhibit an improved separation efficiency, leading to higher photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic activities.
