The electrical transport properties of anodically grown TiO2 nanotubes was investigated. Amorphous nanotubes were anodically grown on titanium foil and transformed through annealing into the anatase phase. Amorphous and polycrystalline…
The charge transport properties of single superconducting tin nanowires, encapsulated by multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been investigated by multi-probe measurements. The multiwalled carbon nanotube protects the tin nanowire from…
In the present work we grow self-organized TiO2 nanotube arrays with a defined and controlled regular spacing between individual nanotubes. These defined intertube gaps allow to build up hierarchical 1D-branched structures, conformally…
Low-dose nitrogen implantation induces in TiO2 nanotubes a co-catalytic activity for photocatalytic H2-evolution. The use of an ion implantation process leads to a N-implanted zone only at the top part of the tubes. The coupling of this top…
The present work reports on the enhancement of TiO2 nanotubes photoelectrochemical water splitting rate by decorating the nanostructure with an amine layer in a hydrothermal process using diethylenetriamine (DETA). The aminate coated TiO2…
Over the past ten years, self-aligned TiO2 nanotubes have attracted tremendous scientific and technological interest due to their anticipated impact on energy conversion, environment remediation and biocompatibility. In the present…
Photocatalytic reactions on TiO2 have recently gained an enormous resurgence because of various new strategies and findings that promise to drastically increase efficiency and specificity of such reactions by modifications of the titania…
In the present work we compare TiO2 nanotube lift-off strategies for the construction of front-side illuminated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Anodic nanotube layers were detached from the metallic back contact by using different…

In this work we describe the synthesis and electrochemical properties of nitridated hierarchical TiO$_2$ nanotubes as an electrode for supercapacitors. The hierarchical TiO$_2$ nanostructures are formed by a controlled layer-by-layer TiO2…
Black TiO2 nanoparticles with a crystalline-core and amorphous-shell structure exhibit superior optoelectronic properties in comparison with pristine TiO2. The fundamental mechanisms underlying these enhancements, however, remain unclear,…
In the present work we investigate various optical properties (such as light absorption and reflectance) of anodic TiO2 nanotubes layers directly transferred as self-standing membranes onto quartz substrates. This allows investigation in a…
We fabricate photo-anodes by transferring anodic TiO2 nanotube membranes in tube-top-down configuration on FTO glass, and use them for constructing frontside illuminated dye-sensitized solar cells. Prior to solar cell construction, the…
Current supercapacitors present several distinct limitations that severely inhibit the efficiency, power, and electrical capacitance of energy storage devices. Supercapacitors present an exciting prospect that has countless applications in…
Efficient and controlled charge transport in networks of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes is the basis for their application in electronic devices, especially in field-effect transistors and thermoelectrics. The recent advances…
We apply high-energy proton ion-implantation to modify TiO2 nanotubes selectively at their tops. In the proton-implanted region we observe the creation of intrinsic co-catalytic centers for photocatalytic H2-evolution. We find proton…
In present work, we report on the use of organized TiO$_2$ nanotube layers with a regular intertube spacing for the growth of highly defined $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ nano-needles in the interspace. These $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ decorated TiO$_2$…
We use free-standing TiO2 nanotube membranes that are transferred onto FTO slides in front-side illuminated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We investigate the key parameters for solar cell arrangement of self-ordered anodic TiO2…
Due to their characteristic geometry, TiO$_2$ nanotubes (TNTs), suitably doped by metal-substitution to enhance their photocatalytic properties, have a high potential for applications such as clean fuel production. In this context, we…
We report the first demonstration that carbon nanotubes can be trapped and manipulated by optical tweezers. This observation is surprising because individual nanotubes are substantially smaller than the wavelength of light, and thus should…
