Mechanism and growth kinetics of hexagonal TiO₂ nanotubes with an influence of anodizing parameters on morphology and physical properties.

ABSTRACT: Hexagonal TiO₂ nanotubes (hTNTs) mimic a honeycomb structure, indicating their high potential as implantable materials due to their superior mechanical, chemical, and biological properties. However, the fabrication of hTNTs with a hexagonal base and six rectangular sides poses significant challenges, underscoring the importance of this research. This study developed a novel sonoelectrochemical method for synthesizing uniform hTNTs and evaluated the influence of anodizing parameters on their morphology. The effects of electrolyte concentration (ethylene glycol 90-97.5% and ammonium fluoride 0.1-0.5 wt%) and anodizing parameters (time 5-90 min, potential 10-80 V) on the morphology (diameter and length) and physical properties (porosity, specific surface area, growth factor) of hTN
