The dc electrical and volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing properties of TiO2nanotubes in both anatase and rutile phases were investigated. TiO2nanotube arrays were obtained in aqueous HF (0.5 wt.%) electrolytes by anodizing of Ti thin films that deposited on quartz substrates using thermal evaporation. Anodization was performed at 10 V in aqueous HF at 0 °C. Then the fabricated TiO2nanotubes were annealed at 300 °C and at 700 °C under dry air for 5 h to obtain anatase and rutile phases, respectively. The TiO2nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) as structural, and UV–vis spectrophotometer as optical. The current voltage characteristics of the nanotubes under dry air flow revealed that the conductivity of the sample with anatase phase was higher than that of the sample with rutile phase. The VOCs sensing properties of the nanotubes were investigated at 200 °C. It was found that the sensor response of anatase was higher than that of rutile for almost all VOC gases. On the other hand, the sensitivities of two sensors are the highest for isopropyl alcohol.
