Anodic TiO nanotubes that are grown on Ti substrates by a simple anodization in various types of fluoride containing electrolytes have attracted scientific and technological interest due to their wide potential applications, and therefore, numerous research efforts have been dedicated to these self-ordered oxide structures in the past decade. The present mini-review highlights less known but important aspects, such as the formation of spaced nanotubes with adjustable interspacing that is achieved in a few specific organic electrolytes, and strong effects of the metallic Ti substrate which significantly affect the growth of the tubes. We discuss the formation of oxide nanotubes grown from adequately alloyed substrates and noble metal nanoparticle decoration of tubes. We describe how specific heat-treatment can introduce a nanotwinned boundary in the oxide tube walls of single-walled nanotubes obtained by a decoring process. All the facts and findings were studied in recent years and TiO nanotubes can be upgraded with more optimized functionalities for their applications.

Simultaneous bone and nerve regeneration is important in facilitating osseointegration. However, regeneration of neural elements is often overlooked when designing orthopedic implants. Since nerves are electroactive tissues that regulate bone formation via neuropeptide release, developing photoelectric coating material on implants is optimal for neural-stimulated osteoblast activation.

The state-of-the-art anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) require highly stable electrodes for prolonged operation. The stability of the electrode is closely linked to the effective evacuation of H or O gas generated from electrode surface during the electrolysis. In this study, we prepared a super-hydrophilic electrode by depositing porous nickel-iron nanoparticles on annealed TiO nanotubes (NiFe/ATNT) for rapid outgassing of such nonpolar gases.

This study focuses on developing a synthetic, biocompatible graft for treating cartilage lesions. One-dimensional titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) were incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel and processed using freeze-drying without chemical surfactants. Upon optimization of the composition, it was found that the incorporation of TNT altered the biomechanical properties without causing any adverse physiological effects.

Hydrogen production via water splitting has been extensively researched for its environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, and renewability. This study describes the development of TiO-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-SiO composite thin-film electrodes via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from a 2-propanol solution of MWCNTs including TiO and SiO gels. The TiO and SiO gels were prepared via the sol-gel method and by mixing in varying weight ratios to enhance the efficiency of photoelectrochemical water splitting.

TiO nanotubes rich in oxygen vacancies (Ov), which were successfully fabricated on Ti foils, were used as the working electrode of a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor. The TiO nanotube electrode optimized with abundant Ov demonstrated a remarkable photocurrent density of 1.03 mA/cm, which is approximately 2.
