Herein, we report on the fabrication and photoelectrochemical properties of highly ordered Sr-doped TiO(2) nanotube arrays synthesized via a one-step electrochemical anodization technique. Nanotube arrays of Sr-doped TiO(2) were synthesized via anodization of titanium foil in aqueous electrolytes containing NH(4)F and various concentrations of Sr(OH)(2) at different electrolyte pHs. The morphology and quality of the fabricated materials were found to be significantly affected by the pH of the electrolyte as well as the solubility limit of Sr(OH)(2) in the test electrolyte. The photoelectrochemical measurements revealed that Sr doping can significantly improve the photoconversion efficiency of the material. Using Sr-doped TiO(2) nanotube arrays, an electrode photoconversion efficiency of 0.69% was obtained, which is more than 3 times higher than that of the undoped nanotube arrays (0.2%) fabricated and tested under the same conditions.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000292479700045</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hamedani, Hoda A.

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of CNTs at 650 degrees C in a mixture of H(2)/He atmosphere led to in situ detachment of the anodically fabricated TiO(2) nanotube layers from the Ti substrate underneath. Morphological and structural evolution of TiO(2) nanotubes after CNTs deposition were investigated by field- emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000289762400006</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hesabi, Zohreh R.
