In this paper, electrochemical properties of the as-formed and thermally treated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes with diameter in the range of 20–100 nm and height in the range of 100–1000 nm were presented. In addition, the effects of annealing temperature (450–550 °C) on the electrochemical characteristics of these structures, as well as the influence of diameter and height of TiO2 nanotubes on these properties were examined. The results were referred to a compact TiO2 layer (100 nm thick). Methods: The electrochemical test included open circuit potential, impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy analyser, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysers were used for surface morphology characterisation as well as elemental, phase and chemical composition of TiO2 layers. Results: It was found that nanotubes with the diameter of 50 and 75 nm (height of 1000 nm) annealed at 550 °C exhibit the lowest impedance and phase angle values. However, the voltammetric detection of potassium ferricyanide indicated that the closest to 1 Ipc /Ipa ratio were shown by nanotubes with a diameter of 50 and 75 nm annealed at 450 °C. Conclusions: On the basis of performed analysis, it can be stated that the TiO2 layer with nanotubes of 50 nm in diameter and of 1000 nm in height, annealed in 450 °C may be indicated as the ones having the most favourable sensing and biosensing properties.

In this work, the photocatalytic properties of Ti–V oxides thin films with 19 and 23 at.% of vanadium addition have been outlined. The films were deposited by the high energy reactive magnetron sputtering method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were done in order to determine the chemical composition and binding energy of the elements on the samples surface. Additionally, based on wettability measurements, the water contact angles were evaluated and were equal to ca. 94° and 55° for thin films with 19 and 23 at.% of V, respectively. This testifies about hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, respectively. Photoactivity of thin films was determined by percent decomposition of phenol for 5 hours during UV–vis radiation exposure. The highest photocatalytic activity of 6.2%/cm2 was obtained for thin films with 19 at.% of V. It has been found that an increase in V amount in Ti–V oxides thin films to 23 at.% results in lowered to 3%/cm2 photocatalytic activity.
