Abstract

Anodic TiO2 nanotubes prepared by anodization of titanium metal substrates is one of the most investigated structures of TiO2 due to their excellent performances as functional materials in various fields. Pore diameter has great influence on the performances of anodic TiO2 nanotubes in application. A number of works have been carried out in the fabrication of anodic TiO2 nanotubes with pore diameter ranging from several nanometers to several hundred nanometers. This minireview focuses on the impact factors influencing the pore diameter of anodic TiO2 nanotubes and the efforts on decreasing the pore diameter of highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays in the past two decades.
