Abstrakt: This study focuses on titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes on solid substrates, which may find wide applications as photocatalysts and catalysts. To address the need for more stable and active electrocatalysts with reduced noble rretal content, the study explores Ti. Oj sub oxi des as promising substrates for the electrocatalysts. Notably, the addition of water in the fluoride-containing electrolyte plays a critical role in shaping the moiphology of TiO2 nanotubes, leading to the fonnation of ordered structures under specific water concentration conditions. The study also examines the effects of platinum and palladium deposition on TiO2 nanotubes, enhancing their surface crystallinity and structural arrangement. The presence of an unidentified phase, possibly titanium hydride, is observed in certain samples. The findings highlight the potential of TiO2 nanotubes as efficient electrocatalysts and the influence of water content and substrate choice on their properties, opening up new avenues for advanced applications in various fields.
