Intrinsic Cu nanoparticle decoration of TiO2 nanotubes: A platform for efficient noble metal free photocatalytic H2 production
In this work, we grow intrinsically Cu-doped TiO2 nanotubes (TiNTs) by self-organizing anodization of Ti–Cu binary alloys. We demonstrate that up to a copper concentration of 1.5 at.% in the alloy, self-ordered Cu2+-doped nanotubes can be grown. Under UV illumination the Cu2+ ion-doped oxide structu...
