Abstract

One-dimensional nanostructured metal oxide can be formed through an anodic oxidation, which is a typical technique of metal surface treatment. Studies on $TiO_2$ nanotubes have been widely carried out with increasing interests in $TiO_2$, which has an excellent functionality among various metal oxides. The present article reviews the principles of formation of $TiO_2$ nanotubes, which have been studied so far. In particular, the article discussed the equilibrium relationship between the oxide formation and etching, which is a key parameter of $TiO_2$ nanotube growth, and the formation of the porous structure. Furthermore, morphological considerations of $TiO_2$ nanotubes according to electrolyte conditions will be explained to the researchers who will study the application of $TiO_2$ nanotubes formed through the anodic oxidation in the future.

금속 표면처리의 대표적인 기술인 양극산화를 통하여 일차원 나노구조 금속 산화물을 형성할 수 있다. 여러 가지 금속 산화물 중에 기능성이 뛰어난 $TiO_2$에 대한 관심의 증대로 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브를 이용한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 총설논문에서는 지금까지 연구되어 밝혀진 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브가 형성원리에 대한 해설논문으로 전기화학적 측면에서의 양극 산화 공정에 대한 이해를 통하여 나노 튜브 형성을 위한 전기적 조건, 화학적 조건, 물리적 조건에 대하여 다루었다. 특히 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브 성장의 핵심 요소인 산화물의 형성과 에칭의 평형관계, 다공성 구조의 형성 원인을 다루었다. 나아가 전해질 조건에 따른 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브의 형태학적 고찰을 함으로써 향후 양극 산화를 통한 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브 응용에 관한 연구를 하는 연구자에게 이해하기 쉽게 설명하고자 하였다.
