摘要：

Self-organized TiO2 nanotube-layers were formed by electrochemical anodization of Ti in a HF/H2SO4 electrolyte. The nanotube layers were then treated at different temperatures (300-600 degrees C) in pure NH3. The samples were characterized by photoelectrochemistry, SEM, XRD and XPS. The results show clearly successful N-doping of the TiO2 nanotubes. The magnitude of the effect is strongly dependent on the duration and temperature of the ammonia treatment. Besides N-doping, the heat treatment causes - in one step - a conversion of the amorphous tubes to anatase. Both effects drastically improve the photoresponse of the TiO2 nanotubes.
