Abstract

A little dopey: Ta-doped titania (TiO2) nanotube (NT) arrays can be grown by electrochemical anodization onto low-Ta-concentration (0.03-0.4 at % Ta) Ti-Ta alloys. Under optimized conditions (0.1 at % Ta, annealing at 650 °C and 7 μm thickness), Ta-doped TiO2 NT arrays show a significantly enhanced activity in photoelectrochemical water splitting under simulated sunlight conditions (see figure).<br /> (Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
