Rapid growth of TiO2 nanotubes under the compact oxide layer: Evidence against the digging manner of dissolution reaction

The growth mechanism of porous anodic oxides still remains controversial. The field-assisted dissolution theory suggests that the growth of nanotubes is driven by a “top-down” digging manner. Here, a three-tier structure (nanotubes + compact layer + nanotubes) was prepared by three steps anodization...
