Abstract: | The present work reports a simple approach for fabrication of self‐standing titania (TiO2) nanotube membranes with through‐hole morphology. The method is hydrofluoric acid free and the pore opening of TiO2 nanotubes is performed by electrochemical thinning of the oxide barrier layer. A reduction of anodization voltage was applied at the end of the anodization process to cause a successful removal of the remaining barrier layer from the TiO2 nanotubes during their detachment from the underlying titanium substrate.
