This study conducted a deep investigation of TiO2 nanotube (TNT) layers of two different thicknesses anodically grown on electrodeposited Ti films. The Ti films were grown from molten salts on Ni foils. The structure of the starting metals was compared by XRD (X -Ray Diffraction) and EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction analyses), which showed a strong orientation towards the titanium (101) for the electrodeposited substrate, compared to the rather polycrystalline structure of the rolled Ti. The photoelectrochemical and electrochemical properties of 1 mu m and 5 mu m thick TNT layers anodically grown on these substrates were examined and compared with TNT layers of the same thickness. No significant morphological and compositional differences were found using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) between the TNT layers grown on the two substrates. However, higher photocurrent densities and ICPE values were observed for TNT layers grown on electrodeposited Ti. An in-depth investigation using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) analyses showed increased conductivity of the TNT layers produced on electrodeposited Ti compared to their counterparts. The carrier density (ND) for the TNT layers on electrodeposited Ti, calculated from Mott-Schottky measurements, showed a higher doping level than the TNT layers grown on Ti foils. This increase in ND results in more optimal photoelectrochemical performance of the TNT layers grown on electrodeposited Ti. All in all, the results presented herein pave the way for the use of electrodeposited Ti, with all its inherent benefits, and allow the further study of its promising properties in a wide range of applications.
