Front Cover: Decoding Tio 2 Nanoparticle Formation via Nanotube Disintegration: Synthesis, Thermal Transformation, and Photocatalytic Synergy (ChemNanoMat 11/2025)

Year: 2025

Type: paratext

Abstract: Under anodic bias in a fluoride-containing electrolyte, TiO2 nanotube arrays undergo progressive dissolution. Tube walls collapse, fragment, and detach into the surrounding medium, forming dispersed nanoparticles. This self-driven top-down transformation is initiated by the electric field and sustained by chemical etching, capturing the dynamic pathway from ordered architecture to particulate form.
