Facile preparation of extremely photoactive boron-doped TiO2 nanotubes arrays

Abstract

Doping of TiO2 nanotube arrays with boron was realized via electrochemical treatment of as-anodized titania immersed in electrolyte containing boric acid. The photoactivity of doped and pure titania was examined by means of photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic response under UV-vis irradiation. The results showed that photocurrent density of B-TNTs is remarkably higher (7.5 times) than density of pure TiO2 nanotube arrays. Furthermore, the usage of doped samples as a catalytic material leads to a significant improvement in decomposition efficiency of methylene blue and in the efficient formation of hydroxyl radicals than is the case in the presence of titania.
