TiO(2) is one of the most studied compounds in materials science. Owing to some outstanding properties it is used for instance in photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and biomedical devices. In 1999, first reports showed the feasibility to grow highly ordered arrays of TiO(2) nanotubes by a simple but optimized electrochemical anodization of a titanium metal sheet. This finding stimulated intense research activities that focused on growth, modification, properties, and applications of these one-dimensional nanostructures. This review attempts to cover all these aspects, including underlying principles and key functional features of TiO(2), in a comprehensive way and also indicates potential future directions of the field.
TiO(2) 是材料科学中研究最多的化合物之一。由于其一些突出的特性，它被用于例如光催化、染料敏化太阳能电池和生物医学设备。1999 年，首次报道显示通过对钛金属片进行简单但优化的电化学阳极氧化，可以生长高度有序的 TiO(2) 纳米管阵列。这一发现激发了大量的研究活动，这些研究活动集中在这些一维纳米结构的生长、改性、性质和应用上。本综述试图全面地涵盖所有这些方面，包括 TiO(2) 的基本原理和关键功能特性，并指出该领域的潜在未来方向。
