The nanotube arrays fabricated in KF solution has the best sensitivity and the co-immobilized
HRP/Th can be electro-chemically reduced and redoxidized at the electrodepotential 0.6 V in the
presence of H2O2.

Photoelectrocehmical water splitting

1. Large surface area -modifying the tube walls by creating bamboo-type structures or double-walled
nanotubes. - used glycerol

2. Uniform surface area-used ethylene glycol

3. Diameter and length of tube-improve charge carrier transport- reduce recombination –

-doping
