High chlorine evolution performance of electrochemically reduced TiO₂ nanotube array coated with a thin RuO₂ layer by the self-synthetic method.

ABSTRACT: Recently, reduced TiO₂ nanotube arrays via electrochemical self-doping (r-TiO₂) are emerging as a good alternative to conventional dimensionally stable anodes (DSAs) due to their comparable performance and low-cost. However, compared with conventional DSAs, they suffer from poor stability, low current efficiency, and high energy consumption. Therefore, this study aims to advance the electrochemical performances in the chlorine evolution of r-TiO₂ with a thin RuO₂ layer coating on the nanotube structure (RuO₂@r-TiO₂). The RuO₂ thin layer was successfully coated on the surface of r-TiO₂. This was accomplished with a self-synthesized layer of ruthenium precursor originating from a spontaneous redox
