摘要：

A facile electrochemical method to selectively remove the outer walls of anodic TiO2 nanotubes by leaving the as-anodized nanotubes in the same electrolyte and applying an electric field parallel to the anodic film for several minutes is reported. The better-separated single-walled TiO2 nanotubes thus obtained show significantly improved photocatalytic efficiency compared with their non-etched counterparts.
