Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Crystallization and Additional Oxide Interlayers Improve the Tribocorrosion Resistance of Tio2 Nanotubular Surfaces Formed on Ti6al4v(Elsevier, 2023) Çaha, İhsan; Türü, İrem Cemre; Erdoğan, Ece; Pinto, Ana Maria Pires; Cansever, Nurhan; Deepak, Francis Leonard; Toptan, Fatih; Alves, Alexandra C.TiO2-based nanotubular surfaces have promising properties for various industrial applications, such as solar cells, fuel cells, photocatalysis, energy storage, gas sensors, and biomedical applications. However, they have very limited use in real applications, and one of the major limiting factors is the weak adhesion of nanotubular surfaces to the substrate. In this study, nanotubular surfaces are formed on Ti6Al4V alloy by anodic treatment followed by a heat treatment at 500 °C for 3 h under an open atmosphere. Microstructural investigations revealed self-organized nanotubes grown on both ? and ? phases. High-resolution TEM/STEM analysis showed crystallization of the nanotubular layer and formation of additional oxide interlayers resulting in a drastic improvement in tribocorrosion resistance. These findings indicated that a simple heat treatment can significantly alter the properties of nanotubular layers and can widen their usage mainly for load-bearing implant applications in corrosive environments. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5The Effect of Geometrical Characteristics of Tio2 Nanotube Arrays on the Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants(Springer, 2023) Kartal, Uğur; Uzunbayır, Begüm; Doluel, Eyyüp Can; Yurddaşkal, Metin; Erol, MustafaHighly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) were fabricated by electrochemical anodization under varying durations and voltages. The effects of the anodizing parameters on geometrical properties were investigated. The results showed that as the anodizing time increased from 15 to 45 min, the length of the nanotubes increased, but there was no change in their diameter, hence the surface area increased while the open porosity did not change. When the effect of the anodizing voltage was examined, it was observed that both the length and diameter increased as the voltage increased from 15 to 45 V. Thus, a significant increase in open porosity and surface area was observed. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to evaluate the effects of all geometrical characteristics on the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB). The results showed that the anodizing parameters were highly effective on the photocatalytic degradation of MB. With the decrease of the anodizing voltage, the photocatalytic activity increased because of the geometrical characteristics of TNAs. Accordingly, TNAs with the surface area of 25 m(2)/g and the open porosity of 35% obtained by anodizing for 45 min at 15 V showed the highest photocatalytic activity with a degradation efficiency of similar to 81% in 7 h.
