Özet:Titanium dioxide thin films with nanoporous structures recently gained great interest due to their large surface area and high reactivity properties in their applications. One of the methods used to form titanium dioxide nanostructures is anodizing the surface of titanium and its alloys in F- ion containing electrolytes. Effects of hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentration (0.1 to 0.5 wt.%), anodizing potential (10 to 30 V) and time (30 to 180 minutes) on the titanium dioxide nanotube formation were investigated by anodically oxidizing Ti6Al4V alloy in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were used to detect and monitor the impact of different experimental conditions. In addition, photovoltaic effects from a well-defined cell were used to infer comparative information on the total surface area of nanotubes. The results indicated insignificant effects of HF concentration and anodizing duration on nanotube diameters but direct proportionality to anodizing potential.
