Abstract

TiO2 nanotubes have been prepared by anodisation of titanium foil and their antibacterial activities have been tested against Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus atrophaeus) while photocatalytic activity was tested for the degradation of the methyl orange dye. We found that the annealing temperature strongly affected antibacterial activity and photocatalytic dye degradation, as well as the production of reactive oxygen species under illumination. However, different trends were observed for dye degradation and antibacterial activity dependence on the annealing temperature. The relationship between annealing conditions, crystal structure, reactive oxygen species generation, dye degradation and antibacterial activity is discussed.
