Characterization of Anodized TiO2 Nanotubes and TiO2/Carbon Nanomaterials by Scanning Electron MicroscopyJingwan Huo, Chris Yuan Figure 1. Membrane process classification Figure 2. A schematic representation of an asymmetric composite membrane • Advantage of Anodized TiO2 nanotubes and TiO2/carbon nanopaticles in application of water treatment: • Photo-catalytic effect, can help reduce membrane fouling caused by organic matters • Easy availability and inexpensive, easy control on dimensions • Environmental friendly • Physical and chemical stability Surface top layer Intermediate layer Support
Methods and Results • Synthesize of TiO2/carbon particles on substrate • Synthesize of Anodized TiO2 nanotubes • Assemble Anodized TiO2 nanotubes on to TiO2/carbon nanoparticle modified substrate Figure 4. SEM images of TiO2/carbon nanoparticles synthesized with different reactant concentrations
