Abstract

A novel nanocomposite TiO₂ film consisting of a bamboo leaf-like nano TiO₂ layer on a nanotubular TiO₂ arrays surface is synthesized by electrochemical anodization with wet chemical pretreatment; it shows almost three times higher activity as compared to that of nanotubular TiO₂ arrays alone.
