Abstract

Orchestrating conductors: A carbo-thermal reduction treatment of a TiO$_2$ nanotube layer in acetylene converts the tube walls into highly conductive and stable oxy carbide compounds. The resulting semimetallic TiO$_2$ nanotube layers (TiOxCy) are electrode materials with properties that differ from other TiO$_2$ nanotubes (see picture). They have a high oxygen overpotential and can be used as a catalyst support, for example, for methanol oxidation.
