Morphology and properties of cathodically modified and anodized titanium surface

The effect of titanium surface treatment on the formation of the oxide layer nanostructure was studied. This layer was formed by electrochemical oxidation in an acidic solution containing fluoride ions. The structures and properties of the oxides obtained on the titanium surface were studied by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and atomic force microscopy. Preliminary formation of a hydride sublayer on the titanium surface does not allow for the formation of a regular nanotubular oxide structure.
