【 摘 要 】

This mini-review summarizes the recent research on the applications of anodic one-dimensional suboxide titania nanostructures with enhanced electrodics properties by introducing atomic-scale defects into the titania systems. Due to the unique semiconductive properties of TiO2 nanostructures, so far, the main focus of research has been on photocatalytic applications of this semiconductor. The limited conductivity of pristine anodized titania restrains the application of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured TiO2 as an electrode. However, recently published works present that suboxide TiO2 nanotubes, due to the enhanced conductivity, are promising electrodes for electrochemical applications. In this mini-review, we highlight the unique advantages of defective TiO2-x nanotubes as an electrode and address the recent electrodics applications of 1D anodic TiO2 nanotubes.
