Department ABSTRACT Self organized titania (TiO 2 ) nanotubes were grown by simple but optimized anodization process in nonaqueus eletrolyte composed of 95%glycerol and 0.5% ammonium fluoride.different constant cell voltages 2 to 25v (dc) used to obtain nanotubes diameter in the range 8 to 42 and lenght of 50 to 820,all experiments conducted at room temperature ~ 25 Degree centigrade for a period of 1 hour. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to obtain information on the surface morphology and the SEM images were statistically analyzed by Java image processing program, where Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) conducted to obtain quantitative information on the grain sizes of the films as well as the surface roughness, and X- Ray Diffraction (XRD) to obtain information on the crystalline structure of the surfaces. Keywards: titania nanotubes, anodization, non-aqueous electrolyte INTRODUCTION Nano-sized objects show a great variety of interesting properties and this is the main driving force of the research in the field of nanotechnology today. The anodization of some metals, (ex;ti,al),under suitable conditions, leads to the formation of ordered arrays of pores in an oxide matrix. This technique has implemented and are now able to tune pore diameter and period. In the case of TiO 2, comparative studies have shown that highly ordered, vertically oriented nanotube arrays outperform their colloidal counterpart for applications including sensors[1],water photoelectrolysis[2], dye-sensitized and solid-state heterojunction solar cells[3].in addition to biomedical applications including biosensors, molecular filtration, drug delivery and tissue engineering[4]. Furthermore, initial investigations indicate that they also may be useful for energy storage devices such as Li-ion batteries, and super-capacitors[5]. The widespread technological use of titania is impaired by its wide band gap(3-3.2ev) which can be narrowed by different methodologies.the anodization method has attracted the most intrest among the other fabrication methods due to its ability to produce integrative,vertically oriented highly ordered nanotube arrays with controllable dimentions[6].this study aims at investigation of fabricating titania nanotubes via anodizing electrochemical process using nonaques electrolyte, and the effects of cell voltages on the morphology of the fabricated titania nanotube[7]. Experimental: Titanium (Ti) metal foils (99.7% purity),0.2-1 mm thick, 1.6 cm diameter specimens, were punched out of a sheet. A titanium disc is loaded into a Teflon specimen holder which exposes 1 cm2 of the sample (1 side), copper conductor provides electrical contact over the sample, and minimizes contamination of the electrolytes from metal fixtures. Before electrochemical anodization, the Ti foils were degreased by ultrasonic treatments in acetone, ethanol, and deionized (DI) water for 10 min. The Ti foils were then anodized in 0.5 wt % NH 4 F (98% + ACS reagent,sigma-aldrich) in glycerol (Anhydrous, 99.8%, Sigma Aldrich). Nanotubular TiO 2 arrays were formed by anodization using a twoelectrode configuration with Ti foil as anode and a platinum electrode (thickness; 0.1 mm, served as a cathode. the separation between the two electrodes was kept at2.0 cm in all the experiments. Anodization was carried out for different voltages at room temperature (~25 ºC) with anodizing duration of 1Hr. In each case the voltage was held constant using a DC voltage supply while anodization the current (mv
2 throw 1Ω resistance) & voltage were recorded for time monitoring using two channels millivoltmeter X- Y recorder (siemense8800) as shown in schematic diagram in fig.1, The anodized samples were cleaned with distilled water to remove the occluded ions from the anodized solutions, and dried in a nitrogen gas. Scanning Electron Microscopy (Hitachi 4500) was used to obtain information on the morphology of titania nanotube, SEM images were analyzed with Java Image processing program,where Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM-AA3000 of Angstrom Advanced Inc.,USA) conducted to obtain quantitative information on the grain sizes of the titania films as well as the surface roughness, and X-Ray Diffraction (Hitachi 600-XRD) to obtain information on the crystalline structure of the surfaces.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION TiO 2 nanotubes were grown with diameters varying from 8 to 42. No nanotubes detected with anodizing voltage of 2.5v, above this magnitude of potential the radii of the tubes were found to be 1 proportional to the applied voltage. Furthermore, the length of the tubes was significantly small or absent when low voltage was used and long tubes achieved with increasing cell voltages to 25vdc, as shown in table.

It is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Mac-intosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.1 or later virtual machine. Maryland, USA. This program has the ability to find and measure the dimensions in either nano or micro scale and make a comparison with a known scale from a specific image, such as SEM images or optical micrometer images. 853

The SEM images revealed that Nanotubes which near or contact to the boundary of edge or any stressed sites they were grew larger in size than the other, figure 5, this may be reseaned to that tubes in the edge are free and affection to Anodizing conditions (electrolyte and current) more than other. 854

7 The XRD patterns of Titania films were investigated as received without any treatment, it show a sharp peaks at 2θ ;35,38,40,70, 93 of the Ti (hexagonal) TiO 2 amorphus weak anatase base metal and some broad and weak peaks at 2θ ; 25,37,55,86, belongs to the amorphous and anantase (tetragonal) TiO 2 nanotubes[8]. Ti hexagonal Fig.10,XRD paterns of titania nanotubes as received after fabrication oxidation. Greater resistances (i.e. thicker barrier via anodizing in glycerol/0.5%nh4f at 25 C. The mechanism of the formation of TiO2 nanotubes is proposed by many authors [9, 10],they assumed that nanotubes formed as a result of competition between field-assisted anodic oxidation, defined as the formation of the anodic layer under an applied electric field: layers) can be overcome by increasing the applied anodization voltage. The presence of fluoride ions in the electrolyte allows creation of channels in which current can flow and keeps the oxidation process active. The thickness of the barrier layer underneath the pores/tubes is constantly reduced by dissolution and in turn regenerates by oxidation. The nanotubes Ti + 2H 2 O TiO 2 + 2H 2 length increases until the oxidation rate at the and chemical/field assisted dissolution of the forming oxide: TiO 2 + 6F - + 4H + metal/oxide interface equals the chemical dissolution rate of the top surface of the tubes. After this point, 2- the TiF nanotube 6 + 2H 2 length O is independent of time. which can be regarded as dissolution promoted by the presence of fluoride ions (chemical dissolution) and by the electric field weakening the bond between Ti and O (field assisted dissolution). The presence of fluoride ions in the electrolyte leads to the formation of fluoro complexes. The most stable is TiF 6 2-, which has a large negative Gibb s free energy of formation ( G 0 = kJ / mol ). For comparison, the Gibb s free energy of formation of TiO2 is G 298 = kJ / mol.the formation of fluoro-complexes is also aided by the applied voltage, which drives fluoride ions (F - ) toward the metal along with Ti 4+ toward the electrolyte: Ti F - TiF 6 2- The barrier layer at the bottom of the nanotubes (at the metal/oxide interface) acts as a resistance to the flow of ions such as Ti 4+ and O 2-, which need to move through the anodic film to maintain active the CONCLUSIONS The results of this study demonstrated the possibility of fabricate aligned titania nanotubes in non-aqueous glycerol electrolyte containing 0.5% NH 4 Ft. The diameter and length of the nanotubes vary with anodization voltages for fixed other process conditions; temperature, time, Smaller and shorter nanotubes were obtained at the low voltages, where the nanotubes became wider and longer on increasing anodization potentials. TiO 2 nanotubes with diameter of the range 8 to 42 and length of the range 50 to 870 were fabricated using potential of the range 5 to 25 volts dc,while no nanotubes detected below this range of potentials.
