Abstract:
We report a very simple and novel approach to produce anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays with highly defined and ordered tube openings. It is based on carrying out anodization through a slowly soluble photoresist coating. This eliminates the formation of undesired initiation layers on the tube tops and protects them to a certain extent from etching by the electrolyte.
