Abstract
Hierarchically structured TiO2 (HST) films composed of top porous nanoparticle layer and underneath nanotube array layer are obtained by an anodization method on fluorine doped tin oxide surfaces. Compared with the TiO2 nanotube arrays photoanode on Ti substrate, the HST photoanode exhibits a higher photoelectrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of water and organics (e.g., glucose).
