During the TiO2 nanotubes elaboration by anodization at a potential of 20V, is there a change in the temperature of the electrolyte?
Anca Mazare
I think that using this working potential (20V) either in aqueous electrolytes or organic electrolytes, the temperature change in the electrolyte is negligible. This is usually valid for normal anodization areas (e.g. 1cm2). If this area is much higher, then there could be some heating in the begging of the experiments.
However, when working with organic electrolytes at higher voltages (e.g. 50V, 90V or even more) there is major modification in the temperature of the electrolyte (significant heating up) - which in turns leads to faster growth of the nanotubes.
Hope it helps!
