PG - 10249-10256 LID - 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b01483 [doi] AB - Heterostructured TiO(2) materials are of great importance in electronic and photochemical related applications. We report herein a simple, low-cost, and scalable fabrication of metal oxides heterostructured TiO(2) nanotube arrays (NTAs) through a combined strategy of thermal decomposition and crystallization. Various M (x)O (y)/TiO(2) heterostructured films (M = Zn, Ce, Cu, Cr...) were obtained by using TiO(2) NTAs as "nano-containers" as well as "nano-reactors", while using M(CH(3)COO) (x) solutions as the precursors. SEM, XRD, EDS results demonstrated that Cu(2)O/TiO(2) NTAs, ZnO/TiO(2) NTAs, Cr(2)O(3)/TiO(2) NTAs, and CeO(2)/TiO(2) NTAs were successfully fabricated. Photocatalytic results revealed that the heterostructured M (x)O (y)/TiO(2) films could either enhance the UV photocatalytic activities or enable the visible light photocatalytic activities of the TiO(2) NTAs. This study provides a facile general approach to prepare M (x)O (y)/TiO(2) NTAs films, which could be very useful for environmental and energy areas.
