Abstract
TiO2 (titania) is one of materials science's most extensively researched compounds. Due to a number of unique properties, it is used, for instance, in photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and biomedical devices. Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs), also known as TiO2 NTs, have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. The current study examines the anodization-based production of nanospheres and its effects on potential variation. Structural studies are characterised using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). A UV-VIS spectrophotometer was used to examine the band gap of the samples anodized at four different voltages ranging from 12 to 40 V. The sample anodized at 12 V shows nanospheres clearly and it holds the lowest band gap.
