摘要
Electrochemical anodization of low-concentration (0.02-0.2 at% Au) TiAu alloys in a fluoride electrolyte leads to self-organized TiO2 nanotubes that show a controllable, regular in situ decoration with elemental Au nanoclusters of ≈5 nm in diameter. The degree of self-decoration can be adjusted by the Au concentration in the alloy and the anodization time. Such Au particle decorated tubes show a high activity for photocatalytic H2 production from ethanol solutions. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
