Abstract

Among various nanostructures, either electrochemically prepared or electrochemically applicable, vertically oriented, highly ordered TiO2 nanotubular layers have attracted great scientific and technological interest in recent years. They posses a wide range of application opportunities across many fields due to the combination of their unique structure, mechanical and chemical stability, dimensions tunability, intrinsinc properties of TiO2, and the relatively simple and low-cost production. While many recent reviews focus on the synthesis of nanotubes, their properties and applications, there is no comprehensive report summarizing existing results on modifications of TiO2 nanotube layers by a secondary material. Therefore, this chapter gives the state of the art and comprehensive overview on the routes for deposition of secondary materials inside and on tops of TiO2 nanotubes by various means. Such depositions in all known cases exclusively lead either to new tube functionalities that are interesting from the fundamental point of view, or eventually to new advanced applications, most likely not plausible for tubes and deposited materials alone. Most frequently, the deposition proceeds on the very top surface of nanotube layers. However, there are techniques and tricks that allow deposition, decoration, coating or complete filling of nanotube interiors by a secondary material. The whole range of deposition techniques used until now for TiO2 nanotube layers will be introduced and discussed. Selected results achieved for nanotube with secondary materials will be discussed in details. Finally, outlook towards future opportunities of the deposition methods for nanotube functionalizations will be given.
