Controllable preparation of titanium dioxide nanotubes and its photocatalytic application in water purification

This project consists of fundamental research and engineering application such as preparation of novel titanium dioxide catalyst, photocatalytic mechanism, multiphase reaction system fabrication and integration etc.

Specific tasks related to this project will be:

• Electrical voltage waveforms will be used to tune the morphology of the nanotubes in different electrolytes.
• Formation of multiple layers of nanotubes through multi-steps oxidization method also will be explored
• Formation mechanism and photocatalytic properties of the corresponding TiO₂ nanotubes will be concluded.
• And the multiphase photocatalytic process will be simulated by comosol software.
