In this study, photoelectrochemical analysis of bioactive material coated nanotubular surface of Ti–30Nb–xZr alloy has been investigated using a potentiostat and a Xenon lamp. Ternary Ti–30Nb–xZr(x=3, 15wt.%) alloys were prepared, and nanotube was formed using potentiostat in 1M H3PO4+NaF(0.8wt.%). Hydroxyapatite (HA) was coated on nanotubular alloy by electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) method. The surface characteristics and photoelectrochemical behavior were investigated by FE-SEM, EDS, XRD and potentiostat. The microstructures of the Ti–30Nb–3Zr and Ti–30Nb–15Zr alloys showed an equiaxed grain structure with needle-like α phase in the β phase grains. The large nanotubes surrounded by smaller diameter nanotubes were formed with highly ordered surface on the Ti–30Nb–15Zr alloy. HA coated Ti–30Nb–15Zr surface has an irregular surface and flake-like particles with (211) and (112) crystalline planes. In the UV-irradiated Ti–30Nb–xZr alloy, the current density in the passive region was higher than that of non-UV-irradiated Ti–30Nb–xZr alloy, whereas for the nanotube surface the current density difference between UV-irradiated and non-UV-irradiated alloys was not significant. The Rpvalue of HA coated/nanotube surface under UV-irradiation was higher than that of the other surface. The phase angle of HA coated/nanotube surface was close to 60–70°. The study suggested that the photofunctionalization reaction strongly depends on the structure of oxide surface, crystallinity of hydroxyapatite and alloying elements.
