Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have fabricated the electrochemical reduction cell for carbon dioxide with metal and semiconductor nanotube membranes. The uniform size titanium oxide nanotubes were obtained by the electrochemical anodization processes. The anodization conditions were optimized for the efficient nanotube electrodes for the photocatalytic hydrogen production from formic acid solution.
