What happens if anodic TiO2 nanotubes are soaked in H3PO4 at room temperature for a long time?
We have found that anodized amorphous TiO2 nanotubes can be transformed into rutile phase TiO2, resulting in the formation of a flower-like structure, when soaked in H3PO4 solution at room temperature for 2–4 days. The presence of PO43− ions in the soaking solution is believed to play a key role in...
