| Abstract: | Rafts of aligned, high aspect ratio TiO2 nanotubes were fabricated by an electrochemical anodization method and their axial electrical conductivities were determined over the temperature range 225-400 °C. Length, outer diameter and wall thickness of the nanotubes were approximately 60-80 µm, 160 nm and 30 nm, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy studies confirmed that the TiO2 nanotubes were initially amorphous, and became polycrystalline anatase after heat treatment attemperatures as low as 250 °C in air. The activation energy for conductivity over the temperature range 250 - 350 °C was found to be 0.87 eV. The conductivity values are comparable to those of nanocrystalline and nanoporous anatase thin films reported in literature. |
