Abstract

A vertically oriented, free-standing TiO₂ nanotube (FS-TNT) layer was facilely fabricated via anodization and heat treatment, and the detaching mechanism of the FS-TNT layer is presented and authenticated. In addition, the closed-bottom-up FS-TNT layer after 2 h anodization facing the P25 film shows a significant improvement in the cell performance (η = 7.62%).
