TiO nanorod arrays (NRAs) were synthesized directly on the fluorine tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates by a facile hydrothermal route. The effects of growth time on the photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of TiO NRAs are investigated. The samples synthesized for 4 h exhibit a photocurrent intensity of 0.37 mA/cm at the irradiation of Xe lamp and a bias of 0 V. As the growth time increases, the thickness and order degree of the NRAs are enhanced, but the photocurrent is reduced a lot. It might be associated with the hindering of a high background electron density in NRs due to the long-time hydrothermal reaction in acid environment. Moreover, the decline behavior is observed, which is attributed to the poor charge separation capacity of TiO array electrodes and could be suppressed efficiently by applying a suitable positive bias.
