Surface engineering for an enhanced photoelectrochemical response of TiO2 nanotube arrays by simple surface air plasma treatment

Abstract

A simple method to improve the photoelectrochemical performance of TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTs) by simple air plasma post-treatment is reported. The air plasma treated sample shows higher photocurrent density and incident photo current efficiency with high stability, about 3–4 times that of the pristine TiO2 NTs even after six months.
